Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2353001, member: 19250"]To give a quick and straight  answer no! In fact I rather sell the house ,rent and buy more coins.A house is a money pit.......and I'm  done with repairs, mortgage , and a investment  that was a worth it in the 50's- 70's and now a joke.My wife has a patient  that saw all the mess in the housing  market  coming. This guy was sharp, he sold the house before the bottom dropped  out, and rented. He also got out of the market ,and also closed his 401K's and IRA's. Since he was not old enough  to do so he took the hit from the feds .He then put all his money in C D'S .Where most took a 40 % hit in their 401,&IRA'S he didn't  yes he did pay uncle Sam but still managed to fair out much better then most. He got full price for his home,that two years later was under water with the new buyer.He didn't  loose the money he would of in the market and his savings on paper. He had the paper in a safe secure cd.Yes true no growth to speak of .....but he's still setting on a nice nest egg. No mortage, no repairs, no worries. That's  what  I'm  talking  about . .... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
