Real Estate Investment Is Fucked. You’re Just Someone Else’s Exit Plan.
Your home is a 30-year financial prison sentence.
Look, real estate used to be the golden ticket. Buy a place, sit on it, watch its value soar, and retire early. But that ship’s sailed. Real estate isn’t just a questionable “investment” — it’s a rigged game where today’s buyers are just tomorrow’s exit liquidity for someone who got in early. By buying, you’re propping up a decades-old myth, a system designed to make someone else rich while bleeding you dry.

Housing costs haven’t skyrocketed because the buildings got better; they’ve soared thanks to financial engineering, artificially low interest rates, and speculative investors who’ve turned housing — a basic need — into an asset class. The very reason you’re looking at a mortgage for life is because the whole thing is bloated to kingdom come. You’re not “investing”; you’re signing up to carry someone else’s bag.
