You don't know many people, then. Or they lie to you. You strike me as someone who's never owned a home if you think it's that simple.
Once again, the average person loses money when you factor in the cost of actually maintaining a property. Please understand that just because your mortgage is one number and you sell the house for a higher number does NOT mean you "made money". You actually have to deduce the cost of upkeep - utilities, yard-work, repairs, etc. Then we didn't even begin to cover the deprecation of the dollar during the duration of ownership through inflation.

Once again, I've stated numerous times, you are the minority. All refusing to recognize this fact does is paint you as an oblivious arrogant asshole. If that was your objective, then mission accomplished.
