But that's more of a political bias than any rational belief.

@Misael Carlos VeraThis is where your passion to make wealth for yourself comes handy :-)People will always say things..it’s your belief system and how driven you are to make wealth for yourself every thing else is jitter

@David SmitAs you have seen, the belief that enough is never enough is a sacred cow of the BOP community.

As humans, no matter what, we tend to be victims of our own confirmation bias so we are going to side with that which confirms or strengthens our current beliefs.  

It's my belief and also something I find valuable, to work through these issues together with discussion.

As with pretty much everything, there are various opinions, beliefs and therefore approaches.

I am not picking on landlords here, but many people "like" the idea of owning property, of building wealth, and will justify their purchase with data to support their belief.  

Your net worth is your network as they say, and you need to meet lots of new people in order to grow your mind and over come limiting beliefs.

I had considered stubbornness and misguided advice as a possibility too.

So you are saying that you were lied to or you are being misguided.
