This is for the average person who has to take out a fixed loan for 30 years to buy a house. Most people think that buying a house is the most safe and sound investment they can get but it really isn't so.
For example, the average person who buys a $500,000 house will have to put 20% down (100,000) and borrow $400,000 in loans. At a very low fixed 5%, the person will end up paying $773024.4 in 30 years + the 100,000 they put down so total will be $873024.4 that YOU paid. When they sell it for that amount and think that you are making a profit of $300,000 +, they are wrong. They are just making back what they paid. What about inflation? Now their money is worth less than what it.
What if you put the $500,000 in a bank account for 30 years at a modest rate of %3 compounded annually, it comes out to be 1.2 millish
