Because then it's yours. If all else fails you have 4 walls and a roof over your head. Also it's not fair to compare an individual to the rest of the world due to the large and varied place that it is.

But in the US, some people argue that the house is not completely "yours" - if you don't pay your (ever increasing) real-estate taxes, the house may be taken from you.
