Reflection on housing

A journalist supported the idea that "in Spain, since we won't have a large pension to live well on, it's important to have a purchased home." "And if you start at 41, you'll finish by 66. It's bad when people are paying rent at 80," he said.

José María Camarero stated on laSexta Xplica that "a simple calculation that can be made using statistics is that people start buying their first home at 41 years old," and that "if you add 24 or 25 years, which is usually the duration of a typical mortgage, these people will reach 65 or 66 with a paid-off home." According to Camarero, "this data is very important," because, as he said, "it's true that we often compare ourselves to EU countries and say that Germans, Brits, or Scandinavians don't have as many homes, but be careful, because they don't have them because they have many investments in stocks, investment funds, or pension plans."

Therefore, the journalist claims that "it is important, in this case, as in Spain, where, regardless of what is said, pensions are not as abundant or large as we might have a purchased home, and that is normal." "If you start at 41, you'll finish by 66. That's what really matters," emphasized Camarero, who stated that "it's bad when people see themselves at 70 or 80 years old, paying rent."
