Priceless!

Exactly right. Can't put a price on it. Maybe not an investment, but a thing of beauty.

As for the house...yes, an investment and an object of great affection. Owning your own place, not answering to anyone: how do you put a price on that?

Plus, I am a student of history. I think of times when cash lost its value. When it was prudent to own things you could hold onto or sell. Well, that's a house, gold or a coin. Probably foolish, but as I said in the blog, sometimes decisions are emotional.
