you are not offending me. I welcome sharp critiques and different opinions.
my argument is that Uncle Sam is printing dollars like a drunken sailor. Why keep all my assets in dollars ? I hold some $$$ in foreign bond funds, foreign equity funds and gold funds.
I am not worried about the value of the house over 20 years. Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis have bad real estate markets. They have kept pace with inflation with little appreciation. Essentially I am hoping to get some schmuck to pay my mortgage (at least most of it).
If I was making a bet Texas should have a good job creation record with its pro-business climate.
