In the Netherlands they also have the option to get the “overvalue” of the house from the bank. So people could use that amount of money, not for holidays but only for improving the house.
I have a house but i did not really understand the concept until this video, thanks for that.

He said he originally bought it for 1 million AND he said the 1.075 is an approximation.

You originally …
You originally bought a house for a million and a half dolalrs, and a year later, the value of the house went up to 1.5 million???? Im confused.

Also 75% of 1.5 million is $1,125,000 not $1,075,000

You’re right. …
You’re right. Although I wanted to show how home equity withdrawal made people feel rich and consume more. Education, for the most part, is an investment and, uming the student is responsible, will generate a return.

I love these videos …
I love these videos, very educational and true…but perhaps give some home owners a better wrap than people who will go on a 100K vacation…perhaps they spent it on education! The result is the same
