We lock our home up 1 to 2 months at a time in winter and summer, and other months in-between. We live in a guard gated community where security is pretty tight. Lots of residents here leave their homes empty for 6 months. We continue to leave water and gas running because we have a pool. One time we turned the water off, my pool guy had to manually fill the water in the pool so that was not a good idea. We do have friends that we can rely on to get into our home if necessary as we can unlock the home remotely for them to get in.

These are the same people who mock others who post about their concerns about their 401K plans because they have a crappy plan with high fees. They love to rub it our faces our they have no concern because they have the perfect plan
My favorite are those who say the economy is great based solely on the stock market. Many are just trying to pay their day to day bills and are not invested in the stock market.
