I logged onto http://www.shopelectricityratestexas.com/shop_electricity_rates.html to compare energy rates through out the state. My husband and I are finally at the point where we have saved just enough money to buy a small vacation home. He wants a beach house and I want a house on the lake. I have been trying everything to try and sway him in my direction, including dropping hints about how much less expensive it would be to have a lake house than a beach house. I have tried to compare everything. I really feel like having a beach house would be awesome, but the upkeep would be so much more expensive than having a lake house. We would spend more money on energy, insurance, property tax, and upkeep with a beach house. I know that he loves the beach. I love it too, but I am the more practical financial thinker in our partnership. We he gets an idea, he just rolls with it without looking at the big picture. The more things I can come up with why a lake house is better, the bigger chance I have of getting a lake house! Any suggestions? I will try anything at this point.
