This x 100 if you replace laundry machine with apartment.

Rent a one bedroom apartment? That money goes from your bank account to your landlord's bank account every month.

Buy a three bedroom house with a sizeable down payment? Your mortgage interest payments and your real estate taxes disappear from your wallet - but your mortgage principal payments go back into your wallet in the long run.

And that sizeable down payment? Temporarily leaving your bank account - until you sell the house, then you get it back (very likely with interest).

But if you're poor this is never an option. Your only choice is to pay for other people's mortgages
