Why do couples often rush into buying a house early in their relationship? Wouldn’t it make more sense to invest the money instead? For example, saving $500k and investing it with an avg 8% return could grow to $5.5M in 30 years. After 10 years of investing, they could stop saving (keep 401k on) buy a house and use the extra funds to pay off the mortgage faster with less interest. Why prioritize buying a home first?
