What was said

""Rents have skyrocketed across the United States. And so is the value of home ownership. So, you know, 20 years ago, homeowners were worth 40 times more than renters. Today, homeowners are worth 43 times more than renters.""

David Bach pushes back on online claims that renting is financially superior, saying people cannot "live inside Bitcoin" and warning that rent rises over time. He cites a large wealth gap between homeowners and renters, says first-time buyers are now typically 40, and frames home ownership as central to building "generational wealth".
