One of the biggest economic scams is convincing people they're richer because their house is worth more.
Great. Your $200,000 house is now worth $400,000.
Unfortunately, the house you'd like to move into went from $300,000 to $600,000.
Your property taxes went up.
Your insurance went up.
The interest rate went up.
And your kid can't afford a starter home anywhere near you.
Unless you're planning to sell your house and live in the woods, that extra $200,000 isn't changing your life.
Congratulations on all your wealth.
