Good for you. For many Americans who were born into families living in high growth areas (California, New York, etc.) a mortgage is often times the only way to stay in the area close to family, while scraping together some semblance of financial stability.

I'm curious as to why you think the "whole system is a lie". This sort of blanket statement seems to discount the fact that banks do in fact serve a purpose in our society, specifically by providing liquitity.
