Is your Home a Good Investment?

I just read in the Motley Fool News that a home is a bad investment. Robert Kioysaki who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad is of like opinion. They are not saying not to buy your own home,
just don't view it as some great investment. Whatever you do , do not buy one you can not
afford, or one that is price to high.
It's no disgrace to rent and with the extra money, you can put in Money Market Savings Account , or some other Money Making Funds .
