Own something.
Own it and rent it out. Own it and hold it to build equity. Own it thru investments and let it grow. Own it and pass it on. Own it and save on taxes. Own it and refinance to minimize the monthly payments as your assets grow. Own it and leverage it to own some more. Own it and sell it for more. Here's how:
