Mathematically, that's the highest return possible because what could be a higher return than something for nothing?

Look,This is how mathematics works.Proof theory.In order to prove anything, it is useless to list a million examples showing what you are claiming to be true.

You can show your wife mathematically how quickly you can pay off your home.Let's say you can show your wife that your primary can be paid off in 5 years so you are totally debt free in five years.

Although in Cambridge our tax system is still very conservative, with all the new money and appreciation coming in, MPAC must keep their estimate conservative or risk many of the older residents living here for 20+ years on fixed income notaffording their homes taxes.School friend works for MPAC and they are currently using a conservative  mathematical equation on most properties as apposed to real inspections. 

Many calculations surrounding returns are based on fancy financial mathematics and university style formulas, but those of us who are in the trenches know that it is critical to separate two entirely different realities.First there is deployed v. not deployed capital.

If $23 goes to the government for tax, that means that the item price (pre-tax) was $77.To get an apples-to-apples comparison of the tax rate under the Fair Tax, we'd need to use the same formula as above:[$100 - $77] / $77 = 29.8%In other words, the Fair Tax guys decided to use a mathematical trick (tax-inclusiveness vs tax-exclusiveness) to make the tax percentage sound smaller.The FairTax.org website freely admits this, though they do their best to bury the information.

After crunching some more numbers, I am starting to agree that looking somewhere cheaper will make the most mathematical sense.

Just keep in mind that the mathematical formula for how much the judge cares about your financial problems is pretty close to diddly/squat --a concept that was probably covered somewhere in your business finance classes in college.

So from a mathematical perspective at somepoint, it pays NOT to occupy.Bob

The mathematical analysis doesn't take much time at all now.
