Agreed👊 same concept as a bond (hopefully) but more growth, freedom, and risk.

It’s definitely not saving. Saving is 1-2% interest. While investing can be anywhere between 7-14%, or with real estate even higher respectively

Real estate always sounds good but the stock market has outperformed it for basically our entire lives
