Debt is the way The Matrix harvests the life energy of young people. First with education debt and then with mortgage debt.

Assuming you get married and buy a house at 30, with a 30 year mortgage, by the time you have paid it off you are 60 years old.

That means The Matrix has harvested the best years of your life.

After 30 years of paying a mortgage (if you make the minimum payment), you own the property. After 30 years of paying rent, you own nothing. Power is in ownership, not renting. Why do you think Blackrock bought all those single family homes? Why do you think a sane country makes it harder for aliens to own property as opposed to renting?

Just make sure you pay your landlord on time, we like that.

You think you "own" your house? Try not paying property taxes and let's see what happens.

That's like saying you are living in slavery, because if you don't pay income taxes you will eventually be jailed.

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. (((The Matrix))) enslaves people through debt. Did you not read the fucking headline?

Your point was that owning is inferior to renting, which is pants-on-head stupid. Your assertion that we are enslaved because we live in a society that levies taxes is also stupid.

No, my point is DEBT is how your energies are harvested. If you can buy a house cash, great. But if you can't, going into debt means your life energies are being harvested for 30 years by Shlomo.

> After 30 years of paying rent, you own nothing.

You own the investment that you get with your money instead of using it for a down payment for a house.

That’s literally what /u/USSDefiantJazz said, read what people say before responding to them with questions they’ve already answered.
