A couple more weeks and that will be my Fortress of Solitude.

How much would you pay to have 30 minutes of solitude to sit and think in your evil scheming hatchery?

If you make yourself look like a tough target using simple techniques, the high junkie will probably go after the neighbor's unlocked shed, instead of your fortress of solitude.

My wife and I just went through this and pulled the trigger on a place at 650k- a far cry from the 400k we spent 10 years ago on our first.I think there is something to it IF you have pride in home ownership, have young kids or are big on entertaining- I personally love my house, it’s the fortress of solitude (well..relative solitude, see above about young kids)

That's your fortress of f***ing solitude.

We routinely pay $100-$150/night, because the solitude and unique experiences are completely worth it.

No, wisdom comes from self-reflection plus solitude.

You owe no one anything, and have created a “fortress of solitude” where you can make decisions without ever giving anyone or anything the ability to leverage you.

I’m already tired of the maintenance and sharing my space.Quickly find someone to marry, and ditch the renters for 2 years before selling.Add onto and convert my office into a proper cottage where I can live in solitude while renting out the main house, unfurnished.
