  Owning a home is a low goal but many people in America are struggling to meet even that lowly goal. What does this say about American society?

  Owing a home = security. People want that if they want a family

  Housing should never be an investment. &nbsp;But that said, owning a home does keep equity and many high income areas have high rent. So it makes sense to own just based on that. I never considered property ownership as an investment. It&apos;s a place to live for people that are family oriented and build equity, that&apos;s it.

  Right, being a commercial landlord is a whole ‘nother job and an investment which if bungled can end in a mess

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9JsQN8rmz0&amp;t=1640">27:20</a><br><br>You are the first person to talk about this, this really was what happened to me in my church. It&apos;s the one i grew up going to, but we didn&apos;t always go weekly. Now we go almost every Sunday, and even the presence of a young couple soon to be married there lifts their spirits, they want to help. If you show up for others, they&apos;ll show up for you, and it will really surprise you how much others want to care. It puts my heart at ease honestly.

  I want a house primarily so I can have a garage to work on old cars and pursue my other hobbies. If I could have a two car garage with a studio apartment on the 2nd floor, I think that would be my ideal house. It would also need a real wood burning fireplace... None of this natural gas nonsense.

  I don&apos;t know if people are actually thinking when they say that the big goal is to own a house. When a regular person says &quot;own a house&quot;, they want the archetype of home ownership - chiefly security, financial safety, self reliance and what they view as a ladder to wealth. When you dive into it - would you rather own a home or have the value of that home in cash, most people would chose the cash, because it was never about the home. It&apos;s about what the home represents. I don&apos;t know if you cover this later in the video, but thanks for the thoughts as always.
