BUYING A HOUSE IS A MISTAKE? 🤯

Has everyone lied to you about buying a house?
This week, I wanted to do something different.
Instead of sitting down with just one guest, I brought together three of the most experienced minds in personal finance for an open debate.
Many of you already know Raoul Pal and Jaspreet Singh, and for the first time, Humphrey Yang joins us on The Diary Of A CEO.
Each of them sees money in their own way, and I wanted to put those views side by side.
We cover:
- Should you buy or rent a house? - Why savings accounts might actually be making you poorer? - The single best skill to escape being broke! - Is passive income a myth? - The brutal truth about debt and credit cards?
We’re living through one of the hardest financial times in recent memory, interest rates up, house prices sky high, inflation eroding savings, and wages struggling to keep up.
What I kept coming back to is that no matter how much money or tech changes, people will always need other people.
Human connection doesn’t go away. And for me, the skills that matter most are still learning how money works and understanding technology.
That’s like a cheat code for the future. Those are the things I’ll carry with me from this debate.
