Splurging won’t make you happy in the longterm. Saving and buying your own home might. That’s why you want to save money, to have options available.
That would be great if the prices of houses didn’t rise faster than it is possible to save for the majority of people.
That's true if you were just keeping savings in a non-interest bearing account. Stock market returns, however, have outpaced house prices.
