The American Dream Is a Lie

Dear Reader,

There’s a story going around. 

A statistic. It’s everywhere. On the news. In the papers. Your friends are talking about it.

• The viral statistic about 40-year-old first-time homebuyers is a lie, a distraction from the real problem that the “experts” don’t want to talk about.

• The real problem isn’t your age; it’s that government regulations like Dodd-Frank have made it impossible for banks to lend money on affordable homes.

• Stop chasing the American Dream of homeownership. It’s a liability. The path to freedom is to stop playing their rigged game and start acquiring real, cash-flowing assets

“The median age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40!”

It sounds terrible. It feels true. It makes you angry. And that’s the point.

It’s also a lie.

A convenient lie. A distraction. 

A piece of statistical garbage designed to make you look at the wrong problem so you don’t see the real one.

The real problem is much worse.

The Shell Game

My poor dad was a smart man. A PhD. He loved statistics. 

He would have seen this 40-year-old homebuyer number and gotten angry at the system. 

He would have demanded the government “do something.”

He would have been played for a fool.

My rich dad taught me to be skeptical. He said, “When everyone is looking one way, you need to look the other.”

The article I just read proves him right. Some smart guys at the American Enterprise Institute actually looked at the data. 

The real data. Not some garbage online survey with a 3.5 percent response rate.

And what did they find? The median age of a first-time homebuyer is 33. And it’s been that way for 20 years.

So the whole story is a fake. A nothingburger. A distraction.

So why are they lying to you? Why create this fake crisis?

Because they don’t want you to see the real crisis.

The real crisis is that the government has made it impossible to buy a home. 

Especially an affordable one.

They passed a law. Dodd-Frank. A monster of a law. Passed after the 2008 crash that they caused. And what did it do? 

It made it unprofitable for banks to lend money on “small-dollar mortgages.”

Think about that. The government made it illegal for banks to make a profit on starter homes.

The result? The market for affordable homes is dead. Only 23 percent of homes under $100,000 are bought with a mortgage. 

The rest are all cash. Who has that kind of cash? Not first-time homebuyers. 

It’s the rich. The investors. The private equity funds.

The government created a problem. Then they created a fake statistic to distract you from the problem they created.

It’s a shell game. And you are the mark.

Stop Playing Their Game

For 25 years, I’ve been saying it. Your house is not an asset. It’s a liability.

The American Dream is a lie. 

It was a marketing slogan created to sell houses after World War II. And it’s been used to trap people in debt ever since.

My poor dad believed in the American Dream. He bought a house. He was proud of it. 

He spent his weekends mowing the lawn and fixing the plumbing. He was a slave to his house. 

He died with nothing.

My rich dad owned hundreds of houses. But he didn’t live in them. He rented them out. They were assets. They put money in his pocket every single month.

See the difference?

The system is designed to make you a debtor. To make you a slave. They want you to buy a house so you’re tied down. 

So you have to keep your job. So you have to pay your property taxes. So you’re trapped.

And now, they’ve made it even worse. 

They’ve made it so you can’t even get into the trap if you wanted to.

So what do you do? You stop playing their game.

You forget about the American Dream. 

You forget about buying a house to live in. You start thinking like an investor.

You start acquiring assets. Real assets. Assets that put money in your pocket.

That means real estate. But not the house you live in. I’m talking about rental properties. Small multi-family homes. 

Apartments. Assets that generate cash flow every single month.

That means gold and silver. God’s money. Real money that has held its value for thousands of years. 

Insurance against a corrupt and dying system.

And that means Bitcoin. 

The people’s money. A decentralized network that is outside the control of the government and the banks. An escape hatch.

This is how you win. Not by playing their rigged game. But by creating your own game.

Let the fools argue about whether the median homebuyer is 33 or 40. It doesn’t matter. The game is rigged either way.

The only way to win is not to play.

Build your own ark. Buy your own assets. Create your own freedom.

That’s the Rich Dad way.

P.S. Mitt Romney Turned $450K Into Up to $100 Million (Tax-Free). It wasn't stocks. It wasn't real estate. It was a little-known investment vehicle that turned Mitt Romney's $450,000 into as much as $100 million and Peter Thiel used to turn $2,000 into $5 billion within two decades. Now, thanks to a new executive order, regular Americans can access the same type of investment.
