A short YouTube clip by Steve D Valentine arguing that a second home’s value should be measured as a ‘return on life’ (ROL) rather than a financial return. He describes buying a second home to relax and create lasting family memories—his children have used the home since ages 1 and 3, learned to drive there, and he expects it to remain a lifelong family place. The acquisition is framed as a gift to his children and the best return on life he’s experienced.

Chapters

A lot of people talk about second homes and the return on investment, and the reality is the second home doesn't have any return on investment. What it does have is an rol, which is a return on life. So one of the big reasons that we bought this second home was it was a way to relax. It was a way to create a lot of memories with the kids, because they've been up here since they were 1 and 3, so they've learned how to drive. We have had so many memories that we have made up here as a family, and I believe that it will continue on with my kids, and it'll be a lifelong place for us to enjoy as a family. And it was something that I didn't necessarily up with, so it was something that I wanted to give my kids. And it's been the greatest return on life since we purchased.
