There is a perpetual housing shortage in most locations.

You can invest in something as passive as our perpetual funds.

After 12 years of practice, I've decided the never ending administrative demands & perpetual focus on billing that I'd be much more fulfilled doing something for myself.  

Seems that homes above conventional max amounts is where there is a ton of movement & qualified buyers (as restrictions are increasing - now 750 credit score required to close a piggy back loan was quoted to me) flooding the market & homes are flying. 

Some in SoCal would prefer to have 2-3 homes paid off by the time they retire, than count on a 401k that may never be enough to pay oneself what rent from those properties can pay in perpetuity.

But Amazon is as much a movement as it is a company.

Whether or not something has to be maintained into perpetuity is rarely my concern; when people start paying for low maintenance over aesthetics, I'll change my mind.

Instead of developing marketable skills, get a job at a fast food restaurant and join the Right to 15 movement.3.

Lot of people would be happier being broke than diabetic ...Make a movement around this concept and it becomes FIRE...start a successful financial show/training   around this concept and you get a Dave Ramsey show..write a successful blog around this and you get Mr Money Mustache. 

Pick a decade, there's always that one breed everyone is afraid of and a bad name gets perpetuated.
