Buying a house to put a roof over your head is not investing. Just like buying a bottle of water to quench your thirst is not investing.

  If it’s not investing why is my net worth rising after buying a house. Analogy is nonsense because you can’t sell the full bottle of water to someone else after drinking it.

    > If it’s not investing why is my net worth rising after buying a house. Because of inflation. Your house is not producing any goods or services, as opposed to investments into the capitalist economy or taxes to the socialist economy.

      Actually the neighborhood got gentrified.
