The home, an investment? Or a life draining, time consuming, vacation stealing nightmare?
Everyone once in a while I like to debate with home owners about there "great investment". For years, I've been badgered by others to pursue the "great invesment". I still choose the "Life investment". Life investor: Well...I'm going fishing and camping for a couple of weeks...Cya ! Home owner: Wow, thats great but I got fix the plumbing and do some painting and I need to be at work to pay the mortgage ! Life investor: I'm taking off to Thailand to backpack for 45days in a few months Home owner: When I 'm retired someday I hope to get over there too... I could go on and on.....lol. Bangkokslim reminding you to: Invest in your life, invest in the market, be free. P.S. Don't join the endless zombies ! Buy a home...buy a home....you must buy a home....lol.

- I know someone that had that philosophy. they came down with a rare liver disease and I thought if he dies he will sure have lived to the hilt without having to follow the rat race. However, he lived.
- Thailand to backpack? If that's your idea of fun then that's very sad dude. Fishing and camping? Just bought an apartment in some beautiful mountains by a lake, this is about 20kms from some of the beast coastside in the world with beautiful beaches and next to NO delinquency. I am not rich, most people will spend 5 times as much money as I have spent for my apartment just to buy a CAR.
- What you are saying is not exactly true. Most homeowners I know take vacations and have very full lives. Besides that, I made over $300K selling my last home...did you?
