Buying a home isn’t an automatic winning lottery ticket
Your first home CAN do a lot of things:
🏠Build your net worth
🏠Make buying your next home a lot easier
🏠Help make retirement more comfortable
🏠Act as an inflation resistant commodity
The most important thing it does though, is provide stability that can last generations.
Having a fixed housing cost that stays constant, while the cost of everything around you (including housing) goes up, is an incredibly powerful tool.
Your biggest core cost, your housing, remains the same instead of going.
Most of us probably missed the boat on striking it rich through simple home ownership, especially if our parents didn’t own. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t strive to buy. To be at the whim of the rental market and a landlord as the cost of housing continues to increase, is only signing yourself up for potential financial hardship or surprises in the future.
So, will our homes 50x in value like previous generations? Don’t count on it.
Will our home help us save money, build stability, and make our future lives more comfortable? That is something you can count on
