Rent vs. Buy: The Hidden Math That Proves Renting Wins 70% of the Time

Описание: Most people believe renting is “throwing money away” — but very few have ever done the actual math.

In this video, we break down the real financial numbers behind renting versus buying and expose why, in many modern housing markets, renting can outperform homeownership financially — sometimes by millions of dollars over a lifetime.

Using realistic scenarios, clear math, and real-world examples, this video explains:

Why mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance are unrecoverable costs

How the price-to-rent ratio determines whether buying or renting makes sense

Why the opportunity cost of a down payment is often ignored — and extremely expensive

How renting and investing the difference can outperform owning a primary residence

Why mobility, liquidity, and diversification matter more than cultural pressure

The psychological framing that makes homeowners feel wealthy while paying higher unrecoverable costs than renters

This is not anti-homeownership — it’s pro-math.

Buying can make sense in specific markets and situations. But in many cities today, the numbers strongly favor renting for people who invest the difference with discipline.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to buy because “that’s what adults do,” or confused about why owning doesn’t feel as financially freeing as promised, this breakdown will completely change how you view housing decisions.
