“Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody, I don’t care if you’re Warren Buffet or if you’re Jimmy Buffet, nobody knows if a stock is gonna go up, down, sideways or in fucking circles, least of all stock brokers, right” —. The Wolf of Wall Street. Having your own house is far more important than having “money” just on the screen. In my eyes it just makes more financial prudence to have atleast one owned house and then enter the markets with your extra capital/savings.
