Why the American Dream of Homeownership Is Dying and What You Can Do About It | Tom's Deepdive
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Money printing, inflation, and housing
Tom links central banking, repeated money printing, and low rates to housing inflation and wealth concentration.
Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today’s episode, Tom Bilyeu dives deep into the current state of the American housing market and why owning a home – once the cornerstone of the American Dream – now seems completely out of reach for so many. Tom Bilyeu breaks down how policies, generational incentives, and corporate interests over decades have converged to create the least affordable housing market in generations. He unpacks the collapse of opportunity facing younger Americans, the long-term effects of money printing and wage stagnation, and why this crisis isn’t just about high prices—it’s a symptom of deeper, systemic problems. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Tom Bilyeu also shares actionable strategies for navigating this challenging landscape, building wealth, and making the system work for you. Get ready for a candid, eye-opening, and practical look at one of the most pressing issues facing our society today. Let’s dive in.
