In this episode of The 7th Cents Podcast, Mike Macklin and Coach R.L. Simmons get real about one of the biggest financial questions today:

Is homeownership still the American Dream—or just an expensive illusion?

They unpack:
 🏠 Why owning a home was once the ultimate goal—and why that’s changing
 📉 Rising costs, interest rates, and generational shifts in priorities
 💰 Is renting really “throwing money away”?
 🧠 The mindset difference between buying a home vs. building wealth
 📊 How to decide what makes sense for your life—not someone else's version of success

Whether you're a first-time buyer, long-time renter, or somewhere in between, this episode breaks down the myths, money, and modern mindset around real estate.
