    The trick is to live somewhere really expensive, then move somewhere really cheap.

    But then you live somewhere really cheap.

    Yeah.

    The most effective use of "house millionaire" wealth is to pass it on to one's heirs, I suppose.

    Education is extremely important.

      I’m planning on moving back to Western PA for at least some of my retirement. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5680-Saltsburg-Rd-Murrysville-PA-15668/10683340_zpid/

      30 minutes to skiing, 30 minutes to an incredible orchestra, 5 minutes to fishing on the river…

          But seriously, our house has gone up dramatically. But if I sell, I just have to buy somewhere else. No gain.

              I see it as part of retirement as well. I can move to a lower cost of living place when I'm older.

                My son has been in his home less than 5 years. He could make $200K on it, easy.

                    We bought 6 years ago. The current value is 150% what we paid.
