Just remember that your house is NOT an investment. there is no revenue generated by it and there are only expenses associated with it. a car is also not an investment, just future junk. And in the villages, houses can come close to future junk with no wills/trusts, etc

An investment must generate revenue and can't have expenses? So, a technology ETF that generally doesn't pay dividends and has an expense ratio is NOT an investment? I can certainly understand the "house is not an investment" perspective but I've always considered my primary homes as investments. If I need to conform to your definition, I view capital appreciation as the revenue and I would be paying MORE of those expenses if I rented.
