My house costs $4200 per year in taxes, plus about $2500 per year in upkeep. And so far about avg of $7500 in interest per year (after tax break) for the past 15 years, although that number will be down to zero within a decade. Still... I do want a roof over my head, and it's going to cost something. Even my tent from REI was $400.

you have learned nothing. let us start over, and pls pay attention, for i am doing you a favor, and have been since our first exchange Message 15410107 (2/26/2001) - cash and near cash, and better than cash, and gold, and platinum, and silver are savings - rental real estate is investment - stocks are speculation - houses (in the sense you may mean, meaning own residence) are consumption disguised as investment as manipulation of tax rights in attempt to grab hold of citizens as tax-serfs, mortgage principle slaves and interest cows, and nothing more than that except perhaps as the chips on the gaming table occupied by financial elites with free access to your wallet by way of central banking power money via first right of refusal atm draw - company operated pensions are hopes - government sponsored social security is a waste of hope
