Renting in Woodstock now. Waking up to birdsong, being surrounded by trees, then campfires and stars at night has been therapeutic for the family. How feasible is it as a permanent destination? The property market is hot right now, especially for weekend boltholes. I would look at Woodstock and surrounding towns, like Saugerties.

Nice! Any particular town/region? And if you don’t mind me asking what were the price ranges?

We’re in a town called west Shokan. About 20 minutes from Woodstock. Paid just over $200k. Do not own in the city though.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.
