Buying a HOME is the WORST Financial Decision
Transcript
one of the worst decisions that you can ever make is purchasing a house. I'm talking about a personal home. Not only are you going to be spending a whole lot of money on interest, but the spending doesn't end there. You need to buy new furniture, buy food for the place, buy decorations, buy whatever it is that you feel that you need for that house. Over the long run, plus the interest that you are paying, you are never going to come out on top when it comes to a home. Your main goal is to try to generate and keep as much money as you are making. Buying a home is not the best option. You are far better off renting a house because if anything goes wrong, or if anything needs to be done, it's just a call away and they can get everything done at no cost to you.
