The Brainwash Behind Buying a House

Buying a home has always been called “the smartest financial move you can make.” But is that actually true… or is it one of the biggest traps young adults fall into?

In this video, I break down the real costs of homeownership — from mortgages and property taxes to hidden expenses most people never think about. We’ll compare buying vs. renting in 2025, factor in opportunity costs, and look at why “building equity” isn’t as straightforward as the gurus say.

You’ll also see why some of the most famous homeownership success stories don’t hold up when you adjust for inflation and maintenance costs — and why your house probably isn’t the retirement plan you think it is.
