Get married, buy a house, have a few kids buy a nicer and bigger house. Pay for college for the kids etc.. You know… Things that 90% of the rest of the world literally go to war to try to get the chance to do.[/quote]
Propaganda.
If you want to do it, then do it. But if others don’t want to, let them be. What is it to you if other people don’t buy? More for you.
Like I said before, the guy I know rents a $1.2 million house in La Jolla for $3,700/mo including pool and garden service. The owner wanted $4,800/mo but the house had been sitting. I told him to offer $3,700 with 6 months paid in advance so the owner knew he was serious. He got a great deal.[/quote]
Yes of course. 10’s of thousands of years or human nature doing a very similar thing is propaganda. Im willing to bet if you go talk to a single renter who never married or didnt have kids etc and ask them their lifes greatest regrets. Your going to find out it gets very lonely and sad. Then add in trying to live under a landlord when your senior? Nothing to pass on to your kids in the form of an estate if you had them?
Im not saying everyone can or should buy a home but dont tell me its propaganda to go out in the world and scratch an instinctive itch to provide for your family and live comfortably and own land.
