Why Owning a Home is the Biggest Lie They Sold You

They told you a house is your greatest asset. It’s not. It’s their leash.

For decades, they’ve sold you a dream: a house, the white picket fence, financial security.

But it’s a scam.

A masterclass in manipulation designed to keep you tethered to their system. Owning a house isn’t freedom – it’s the ultimate shackle.

Think about it. You work your ass off to scrape together a deposit, only to be handed a mortgage – a euphemism for 25+ years of servitude. And while you’re stuck grinding away to pay off your “asset,” they’re laughing. Why? Because the system is rigged to keep you chained.

Here’s the cold, hard truth: Your house is their liability, and they’ve managed to sell it to you as an asset.

Housing: A Liability, Not an Investment

They’ve turned one of your most basic human needs – shelter – into a speculative asset. It’s no longer about having a roof over your head; it’s about “growing your equity.” But what they don’t tell you is that your so-called investment comes with a host of hidden costs:

• Stamp duty.

• Maintenance.
