The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

With property you can also just pay interest only with your mortgage on a longish term, low fixed rate (if available) and stick the extra cash into tax free accounts.

Eg we purchased our current house 15 years ago with a 20% deposit, the equity has now grown to 60% and the house has doubled in value, ive also not paid a dime off the mortgage.

The current monthly mortgage payment is 15% of the monthly rent of the same house opposite!

Taking a very long term view inflation is your friend.
