The lake economics are a screaming example of that, as John's link points out. I thought my Winni house was a once in a lifetime reward that made no financial sense. Wrong! My splurge would be a huge windfall if I sold. It's as if I've been using it for free.
True. But, unless you start borrowing against the gain it’s value is irrelevant. Just number. Enjoy it
