This video animates wealth growth from Feb 1996–Dec 2025: orange line = buy house (with mortgage + appreciation); cyan line = rent + invest the difference (likely in stocks). Renting + investing pulls ahead early and ends far higher (~$5.2M vs ~$2M). It assumes typical US market returns, rent/house prices, and no transaction costs/taxes. Real results vary by location, rates, and risk tolerance; homeownership adds stability and leverage too. Source: Yunggeeski_ #stocks #renting #investing #house #relatable
