so we are back to being at a mexican standoff..

So, back in 2019, we were looking to move to a different home in TV. At the same time, we were deciding where to invest a recent inheritance. We were fairly risk averse and yields on treasuries and the like were very low, so we decided to invest the inheritance in a way more expensive house than we needed. Our plan was to sell in 3-5 years, which we did, and reap the capital appreciation. How is this NOT and "investment decision from a finance point of view."
