Regular (monthly) investments are available to nearly everyone. Investing is perhaps even easier- no points to pay with mortgage and investments are liquid and highly portable.
Yea, but you can't live in your annunity fund. With a home, can rent it out. You can use it to start a home business. You can help out family members in need. You can work on your vechicle on the driveway. (Just read a housing rental agreement. A 42 page agreement. The agreement was so restrictive, the renters would only be able to sleep in the over-priced, code ridden, chit box. They literally had a clause in the lease that restricted opening the hood of your vechicle for more than 10 minutes in their carport. No quick trouble shooting on that old vechicle. You are forced to roll it on the street, and then risk a municipal ticket?
I still think a house is a good investment for most poor, and middle class people.
I'm so dissalusioned, at this point in my life; I would just like to see areas where you can pitch a tent, without the fear of racking up tickets.
I hate to be that guy, but I forsee a lot more homeless in the near future. I'm just asking for a few fields, and some restrooms. A safe place where people could go after an deviating life event--like a nervous breakdown, or the loss of a key job. A place where you could save a few bucks, so you could get back into the system.
