But if you don't build something, you are forced to bet.

Their wife is haranguing them to get one so that they can live inside of it and build memories.
So once houses become too expensive,
Most people just don't bet.
And because of that, they get eaten alive by inflation.
If you were willing to bet that the stock market will go up in value over a long period of time, odds are you'll actually win.

you would think that people would rush to that casino and follow the playbook.
But most people don't.
Most people don't bet.
