Owning a house is much more cheaper than renting, also having a fixed mortgage in these inflationary time is more than beneficial, you are paying less every year (opposite than renting), and then, also could give you an extra money in case you are abroad (mortgage is usually much less than a rent).

Rather stack #Bitcoin than being pinned down to one location/country. Further it’s too much of a burden with taxes and maintenance and staff so I am not a huge fan as an investment. It’s different if you have kids and value the security having a fixed place, but then I wouldn’t count it as an investment.
But what is all this thing about and the purpose of "generational wealth" if you don't even think about having kids?
You need to achieve all the plans, not just the plan B 😉
