      Very true. The only thing to be weary of is only living for retirement. Once you're debt free and living below your means you should enjoy a little bit, like taking a reasonable vacation every year (pandemics not withstanding). There's too many stories of people dying before they reach retirement or only a couple years after retiring. Some of it is luck and some it it might be not resting enough during the working years. There's a balance between saying YOLO and not saving/investing for retirement and living a cheap life you hate and only focusing on retirement.

      Always count your own house as a liability, not an asset. Although it's very true that the value can IN MOST CASES go up on average, you may (not always but it's a possibility) end up spending more than that on repairs if something like the roof leaks or AC breaks, or some combination of things. The ONLY time a house becomes an asset is if it is rented out or if it's a fixer upper where you IMMEDIATELY turn around and sell it for a profit after fixing it up.

    Just rent in Paris for 8 weeks per year. Cheaper and this family is not at the whim of governments which will curtail or tax to death foreign owners. It happens.... just rent and be free to go anywhere. This family may change their mind and want to go somewhere else. Ongoing operational costs of this luxury item will continue to eat at this family's 10 million dollars. They will not continue to have the 10 million in a few years if they buy this.
    During the 2 year pandemic, airplane travel was curtailed or stopped. Are foreign owners double taxed? Would you owe France taxes? Could squatters have rights over foreign owners? The caller would note even be a voter.....would the government care about his property? Just rent.

    Here is a question:
    My family and i live in a large-ish town in Canada.
    I just got a new permanent and secure job in a rural area, thirty minutes away from our current home . Because of the isolation, the real estate is cheaper near my new job than in our large-ish town.
    We owe about 200 grand on mortgage and make about 170 grand a year (we only clear 8 grand a month, due to mandatory pension contributions and higher taxes in Canada ). We plan to payoff our mortgage in about 6 -8 years (maybe sooner) BUT:
    We could realistically be mortgage free by selling our current home and buying a suitable home in the rural area (near my new job).
    Does it make sense to accelerate into baby step 7 by buying a cheaper house than the one we're currently in? Or should we stay the course, stay in debt for 5-10 more years, and live in our current home?
    Also what do you think Dave Ramsey would say?

    I don’t often disagree but in this case the “toy” won’t lose value. So it’s not really a toy. It is a decent investment that will probably appreciate over the years, save them the cost of hotels and might be rentable when the buyer isn’t staying thus creating another income stream. Not to mention, there are probably some tax advantages.
