And if you buy stocks at international markets, after 20 years you have multiple
assets located in multiple banks that operate in multiple economies, all of them
producing money instead of costing it (like a house). Bonus points because if
your country gets a Pedro Sanchez your whole savings plan is not destroyed,
whereas if you buy a house and your country gets a Pedro Sanchez the whole value
of your investment might get destroyed.
