028: M.C. Laubscher: Wisdom Wednesday! Is Your House An Asset or A Liability?
Most people "save" the majority of their wealth qualified retirement plans and their homes. These are two Sacred Cows in society and financial planning.In today's episode I critically examine the question, "Is your house an asset or a liability?". I also discuss the concepts of home ownership and "saving" in general and analyze where we are currently in the housing cycle. Please let me know your thoughts on Twitter. Quote: “My poor dad always said, "My house is an asset and it's our largest investment." My rich dad said, "Your house is not an asset, it's a liability. And if it's your largest investment you're in trouble." - Robert Kiyosaki Recommended Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T.
