[quote=Anonymous]... and your point is? If you put the $10,000 into the S&P in 1980, you'd pay cap gains tax on the returns, too. Plus you'd still need a place to live (that is, unless you're still in your parents' basement). Let's suppose that in 1980 you have kids. You'd like them to go to a good school and decide not to buy (b/c you put that $10K in the market). So you will need to rent a SFH in that good school district. Good luck finding a SFH with a rent lower than a mortgage... AND at the end of the kids' elementary school, you won't have invested all of that rental $$ you paid your landlord. BUT ... guess who would have invested it? Your landlord! So nice of you to have made someone else rich. So, what's your point?[/quote]
