I'm not forgetting. I have to live somewhere. If I pay rent somewhere else I'm paying market rent. That is the gp's point.

- liamcardenas 8y agoYes, but if you live in your own home, you are still paying market rent by means of opportunity cost. You are renting to yourself-- at the market rate.
- jdblair 8y agoI still don't follow. As market rent goes up you will be renting to yourself below market rate. Suppose market rent is $2000/month and my mortgage is $2000/month. In 10 years market rate rent has gone up, but my mortgage is still $2000/month.
