'Cept for the taxes. But we all have that burden.
Greatest home or not owning it is "winning". The misconception that a home is in an investments and the lack of understanding on the total cost of a home with the finance charges is so misunderstood its amazing. Few have the discipline to purchase a home they can own outright and even fewer have analyzed it to the point to recognize it's far better to purchase a lesser home initially and pay it off quickly. The money saved on interest along along with allowing "real" equity to develope can have them truly owning a very nice home.
