Renting Isn't Throwing Money Away (Here's the Proof)

Renting vs buying a house: after 20 years, who actually ends up richer? It follows two 30-year-olds from 2004 — Maya who bought a $221,000 house at 5.84% and Daniel who rented at $850 and invested the difference — tracking real prices, rents and S&P 500 returns to 2024. The film breaks down why calculators say renters win, why Federal Reserve data shows owners hold 40x more wealth, and how today's price-to-rent ratio changes the answer.
