1. Society (at least in Paris) rewards people who buy their own (humble) home, stay there, and don't own a car.
- if you don't buy now you might as well rent forever, because inflation is not some BS tailored number like 2% : prices can go up 10% in a year
- real interest rates to buy property are negative because of inflation
- speculating or trading is BS and doesn't cover for inflation
- investing is ok but not as good as investing in your own home
- renting costs more than owning property
- if you are not patient enough selling property costs more than renting
- cars real cost: buying, maintaining, parking, insurance, energy, freeways, possible accidents...
