“Buying isn’t always better. Sometimes renting is the smart move—and here’s why.”

In this episode, Jaspreet challenges the myth that homeownership is always the path to wealth and breaks down the real costs of owning vs. renting. It’s not just about the monthly mortgage—there’s a lot more under the hood.

  • The 5 hidden costs of owning a home most people ignore
  • Why more wealthy people are choosing to rent
  • How opportunity cost eats into your equity
  • What the 10-year plan has to do with your decision
  • Why buying a home you can’t afford is riskier than renting
  • The 5 things you need before you're truly ready to buy

Before you jump into homeownership because “it’s cheaper than rent,” make sure you’re not overlooking the real math—and the long-term tradeoffs.
