If you spend $2k/m for 30 years on a mortgage that doesn’t appreciate you’ll still be left with a house worth about $300k, likewise if you pay $2k/m for 30 years on rent you’ll be left with absolutely nothing.

Which scenario represents more accumulation of wealth?

  1. Spending $720k over 30 years to own nothing

  2. Spending $720k over 30 years to own a $300k home.

I guarantee you the CIA, NSA, DHS, etc. monitor overseas Americans and will show up and harass you a bit if they perceive that you’re engaging in “anti-American” sentiment. They already illegally do it on US soil, I can’t imagine why the wouldn’t also do it on foreign soil where they aren’t subject to US law.
