I think you can't go wrong with buying real estate as family members can live their rent-free as the property goes up in value,a win-win in my eyes.
In my mind,cash has no Real value until it's spent,,,,lol,so i spend it.
Probably because i watched my father work hard all his life,saving,depriving himself(and loved ones),then dying with it all sitting in a bank waiting to be split-up between relatives,,,,i was 17. A lesson in life taught thru death,,, :cheers:
