Also, my mortgage payment will stay the same through the life of the loan. at 3% inflation, every year, i'm basically paying less and less for my mortage. There will come a time that I can invest AND pay my mortgage. I've already beat inflation by being in the house, which usually make around a 1% gain over inflation, long term. Then I start investing, and i don't have to make up any ground, just beat inflation.
and commute at least 2 hours a day, and pay for gas on that commute, and live in the middle of nowhere.
you have to look at the whole picture, not just the bits and pieces that are favorable at the time.
