However, to answer your question, I don't really consider this house we bought in The Villages recently as an investment. I have plenty of those. It would be nice if it appreciated but I certainly am not banking on it. If anything I consider this home purchase as an investment in our retirement well being and health.

When it is all over, the kids get what is left. Financial planners tell me that the absolute best financial planning is to spend your last dollar as they are closing your coffin
Each person (s) should make up their own mind (s) how to spend their savings and what to leave to their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. This is not a financial planners decision but yours.

We consider our home we own in The Villages as an investment and BTY a good one.
