From speaking with several friends that are either actively serving or served in the last few years, one of the many things I've consistently heard (from all branches of the military) is, "Don't ever trust a single thing a recruiter says."

I was being funny... Well, not being funny. I was attempting to be funny.

The top question right now is a pedantic questioning of OP's marketing phrasing. That sounds like real Reddit to me.

Fuck three passes. I'm going Gutsman on this bitch.

Edit: Yes, please, use a modern standard. This was 100% a joke. /u/datarecoveryengineer is indeed a professional, and does know exactly what he's talking about.

You can also look at countries like Japan, that started hitting their own housing crisis around the same time America did. Instead of doing what America did and shrugging like it wasn't their problem, they adjusted zoning laws at the federal level to greatly reduce difficulty in building residentials. The result is the value of housing tanked, hard and fast.

In Japan now, buying a house will lose you money in the specific equity of the home over time most places. The flip side? Most people can just... Afford to buy. Buying a home in Japan is like buying a car. It's not idealized as a major investment there. You own a home for the purpose of living in it, rather than just living there until it's time to cash out.
