Too Wealthy
Or Too Poor
To Pay Rent
Wealth May Make Thrift I'm
necessary - Poor Have
Small Margin of Saving
HOME OWNERSHIP
A FINANCIAL START
Dollar is More Than a Coin
It Should Be Looked en- as
Capital That Can Earn Six
Cents Yearly
BY BENJAMIN r. FOX


Only two sorts OF families should
pay rent, those who are too
wealthy to make thrift necessary
and those who are too poor to
have a margin of saving For the
majority of people home ownership
is almost prerequisite to creating
a start toward financial indepen-
dence. In estimating the compar-
alive costs of renting and home
owning the expenses should always
be estimated in terms of COM
pound interest.
One of the most important diff
ferences between people who ac-
quire wealth and those who remain
in modest circumstances, is that
The former looks on a dollar not as
4 coin to be spent and forgotten,
but as something able to earn six
cents a year for all time to come.
A mans attitude toward his
monthly rent bill will often pre-
determine his entire opportunity
for real success in life. Inevitably
il he has the "acquisitive instinct"
he will regard rent not merely as
certain percentage OF income to
be paid out monthly, but as capital
which is capable of earning in
terest for the owner.
In the amount of mere cash paid
out a monthly rental bill of $50
will amount to a total of $4,000 i'll
ten years, $4,000 at the end of
fifteen years, and $4,000 at the
end of twenty years. But regarded
as capital and compounded at six
per cent interest, monthly rent
payments of $50 are equivalent to
the expenditure of s8,302.99 in ten
years. of $14,700.80 in fifteen years,
and $23,2S6.31 in twenty-year
period.
Such a sum invested in real
estate would purchase a far better
house than could be rented for
twice as much as $50 a month. The
man who is debating whether to
purchase his own home is really
asking the question ''who shall
benefit by the interest my money
earns?" If he decides to retain this
benefit for himself, he will auto
matically obtain over a period of
years that other benefit, which con-
sists of increase in the value of
his property. In city such as this,
where growth in real estate values
is consistent year by year, the
average home owner finds that by
the time he has paid for his
property his land has very likely,
largely increased in value.
The figures available to prove
the argument for home ownership
are so conclusive that one is
forced to wonder, in spite of him
self, why so high per cent of dwell
lings are rented. The only answer
is that people do mot think in
terms Of capital earnings, else they
are willing to pay an undue prem
ium to live in rented dwellings,
near the heart of the city.
When they pay this premium
knowingly and feel that they are
receiving value paid for--if they
can really afford to pay for it
well and good. 1t they are paying
it, however, because they do not
appreciate the capital value of
money, then there is still a large
opportunity for educational work
not only by the real estate profess
sion but also by banks, schools and
universities.
