[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since 2000, the S&P is up 168% even with 2008-2009; unless you chose the absolute right house/location, most houses in this area are not up 168%, so yeah there is something to be said for investing and not buying a home – not to mention all the $$$ that could’ve been used to buy more shares that instead went to HVAC, new roof, landscaping, renovating the kitchen/whatever else etc. [/quote] You're over-simplifying by not mentioning that, if you bought a house in 2000, you've had a place to live since 2000, and a lot of your monthly housing spending since then has been simply to put equity into your own property, and the tax incentives on mortgage interest.[/quote]
