The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Savings Expert: Are You Under 45? You Probably Aren’t Getting A Pension! Do Not Buy A House! This Is Probably Why You’re Broke! - Jaspreet Singh

Banken sind nicht dumm. In Wahrheit sind sie sehr witzig. Banken machen etwas, was man nennt Frontloading your mortgage. Was das bedeutet, ist, wenn du einen 30-Jahres-Mortgage bekommst, was viele Menschen in Amerika machen, und du 3.000 Dollar pro Monat auf deinen Mortgage bezahlst, You're not paying $1,500 to your interest, your bank, and $1,500 to your principal, your equity.

The way it works is banks front load your mortgage, which means for the first almost 15 years, it's about 14 years and 8 months or so, but for almost 15 years of your mortgage, the first 15 years, the majority of your mortgage payment is going directly into your banker's pocket in the form of interest.

Das bedeutet, wenn du 3.000 Dollar pro Monat bezahlen wĂŒrdest, fĂŒr den ersten Teil deines Kredits, vielleicht 100 Dollar, geht aus den 3.000 Dollar in deine Einkommen. Die anderen 2.900 Dollar gehen direkt in deine Bankkarte mit Interesse. Und jetzt, ja, nach 15 Jahren, ist die HĂ€lfte deines Kredits in deine Einkommen und die HĂ€lfte in deine Interesse.

But if you refinance before that 15-year mark, that starts over. And so this is where banks understand the game. Again, I'm not against buying a house, but you got to understand the game of money. And most people don't understand that. And so the mistake that people make is they buy a house they can't afford.

And now they're paying all this money into their mortgage, thinking that I'm building wealth. They no longer have money to save. They no longer have money to invest into other real assets. And their money is just going to pay down their mortgage, thinking that this is going to build my wealth. But you've been sold a lie.

Let's make the numbers very simple. You want to buy a $100,000 home. And let's say the banks require a 20% down payment, $20,000. You could do a few things. Number one, you can take that $20,000 and go out and buy this house. And now that's how that money has been used.

But if you use that money to buy the house, you lose the opportunity to take that $20,000 and say, use it to buy a rental property. You lose the opportunity to use that $20,000 to invest in the stock market. You lose the opportunity to take that $20,000 and maybe build a business. Now the question is, what is going to give you the best and most growth?

Now hopefully this house that you buy will go up in value. It's not guaranteed. We know that houses don't always go up in value, no matter what your banker says, no matter what your real estate agent says, because we saw what happened after the 2008 crash, where real estate prices were slashed in half. It was as much as 93% real estate values dropping in the state of Michigan, where I am.

So we know real estate prices don't always go up. Stock prices don't always go up. Businesses don't always work. Everything has a risk. But now the question is, which risk do you want to take? And which risk do you want to take first? Are you in a situation now where you're ready to go out and buy a house? Or do you want to build your wealth first a little bit more?

And that's the question that I want people to start thinking. Am I ready to buy a house? And then people say, well, if I go out and invest my money, the problem is, housing prices keep going up. I'm chasing this housing market. It keeps getting more and more and more expensive. And you're 100% right. It's a risk.
