His house is worth $1.3 million, not $260k. It's a 5 bed, 2.5 bath, 6,280 sqft house on 0.75 acre lot.

Only if you have money but chose to rent so you can get a greater return elsewhere. If like most renters you're only renting because you can't afford to buy a house then no.

Home ownership is an asset if it provides you opportunities you can leverage for more money, a liability otherwise. I doubled my income since buying my place and now owe less than half a year's salary on it.

Yes I'm sure the rich man who is the only one to somehow get a special government deal where he can defer tax forever will surely give me good advice and that I should definitely not own any assets.

He said it sometime in the 1990s, which 100k then would be worth around 233k today.
People's perception of the value of a dollar is largely formed when they're in their teens and early 20s though, that's why whenever your parents saw the price of things they'd go "wow $2 I remember when it was $0.25 what a ripoff" even when that's been the regular price for years.
If we go by that, he was born in 1924, then he would be 25 in 1949. After inflation, 100k in 1949 is 1.28 million today.
So the first 1.28 million is a bitch, which I largely agree with. At that point your wealth can pay for a decent living expenses.
I'm past 300k and it was a bitch but I don't feel like anything has changed since I had 10k in savings, but if I hit 1.3m I'll certainly feel comfortable to stop waging and focus on more important things.

Even with a 2.8% mortgage my housing costs altogether have been more than I would’ve paid renting for 4 years. My net worth would be slightly higher at present moment if I had rented & invested the diff

However I love my home, it’s in a great walkable neighborhood (I walk to work everyday) and bc I own it I felt comfortable buying better quality furniture and really investing time into making it feel like my space. I met my gf within a year of moving here and she loved it too, so I think it helped support relationship goals

I don’t think I’d trade the experience of being here for a higher net worth number. I’m content

I understand your reasoning. 1.28 million outside the US is pretty much impossible as far as I know. Best case for europoors like me then it's probably something around the amount of €300k or so, which still takes a fucking lot of waging and time for compound interests to work

Over a lifetime of working? That sounds really bad.
300k euro is about where my net worth is as a leaf in my early 30s.
I make the equivalent of 64k euro/year, and I would have started at 50k euro/year when I graduated university, and my rent would be about 1100/mo in euros as well.
I have a high savings rate and investments have done well so I'm definitely above most peers my age, but I thought it was bad here because starter houses are around the equivalent of 550k euro anywhere near my work, but are things really that comparatively bad there?

>> No.57513416

>>57513171
No, not over a lifetime of working, I meant €300k as a first stepping stone, comparing it to "the first 100k".
The average wage in my country is about €20k/year after taxes, some other european countries do better, some even worse.
Even pretending you spend no money at all, that's still 15 years of working to get to €300k. Of course that's without investing. Let alone reaching $1.28 million or anything close to that, probably won't earn near that in a lifetime. I suppose the "100k" Munger proposed has to differ from country to country based on the cost of living. Some countries have shit pay compared to the rest of the world, and the only way to earn more seems to be to go living abroad.
