Thinking:
If you have money to invest, where are you going to invest?
I am at the point of “spend it before the govt destroys your wealth.”
The home is the most logical investment. At least I can enjoy my house. Demand strips supply. The inflated cost to build brings up the price of old homes.
Our house was built in 1978. We bought it in 1997 for $125k. It’s in a country club area so now is worth about $400k. We stayed in it and paid it off. We have been working on it and upgrading it ever since we moved in. I’m looking for someone to retire the pool now. I just had plantation shutters put in. I stay within reason but yeah, this is our home and I spend money on it.
