So you know what I did?
I took the difference and I invested it.
and over time you can see in the data that those investments tend to handily outperform real estate again run the numbers because if you're living in a different city if you're living in somewhere in michigan for example it might make better sense to own and then you know just finally from a lifestyle perspective
I like being able to text someone and have them come and fix any problems.
I love that.
Yeah.
So for everybody listening, I think here are the key messages I would take away.
Number one, never be ashamed to rent.
Okay.
I can afford to buy today and I don't.
You were told, as so many people, that the American dream is a white picket fence where you own a house in the suburbs, where you have to drive everywhere, where you can't see your friends unless you drive 45 minutes, and you need more space for your dog, which in turn produces you feeling lonely
low social contact, high maintenance phantom costs that you never considered, and then somehow, one day, someday, you will magically sell this house for a profit, and then what?
No one ever finishes that sentence.
How are you gonna actually make money from this?
Oh, you're gonna move to Florida, downsize, get a son for the remaining days, and then die.
That was not my rich life.
so instead my message is never feel ashamed for renting you can choose whether you want to buy or not you should run the numbers sometimes it does not make financial sense to buy and i'll also say this i have nothing against owning i will own a house one day i already have the money set aside and you know when i buy this house it will be the biggest luxury purchase i ever make
It will not be an investment.
In fact, it will be the worst financial decision of my life.
I can tell you that right now.
