Sure, the returns on your CAPITAL investment can exceed the going interest rate. But you invariably place that CAPITAL amount in a position of GREAT RISK in order to pursue such high rates on average.
As for owning a house when you're 25 ... bother to SAVE MONEY for such an event and then I'll respect what you have to say about it. Renting money to buy a house is no different on average than "throwing money away" on cheap rent while you SAVE money to buy it later.
The real estate industrial complex (REIC) really sunk its talons into you fucktards, didn't it? It got you believing that a house is an INVESTMENT (which is easily proven over time to be worse than a CD). But as the home-owning and -buying percentage of America climbed, home EQUITY dropped in America ... to reportedly the level of 1945. So on average, a nation of losers was born, and they are just slaves to banks. And you know what? We've seen that kind of condition BEFORE ... in 1929.
Since I have money and no debts, I guess I'll be driving past you heavily indebted losers when you're standing in the cold for your watery soup and moldy bread. But you should have known:
DEBT IS NOT WEALTH. Wealth is expressed in PRODUCTIVE CAPITAL, and a house is NOT a producer. Neither are stocks and bonds. In fact, all financial instruments in the USA are now heavily tainted by fraud. You'd literally have to be an
infantile fool drooling stupid over yourself, to ever believe that it's safe to park so much of your money in such instruments.
