You can't buy bread with stocks either but Elon is still rich.

The difference is that you can't earn a living by owning your primary residence, so you're still working class.

That's my point. Owning a home doesn't make anyone rich. Owning multiple homes which generate income is a different thing, but people here assume is that if you bough a house in London 20 years ago for pennies, then today you are a fucking Bezos swimming in money. That's not the case.
