So what you're saying is I should invest in gold because it increases in price at the same rate as housing?

So I never actually make any progress? And then in the end I just have a bunch of gold? Why wouldn't I just buy the house then?

Well you can buy gold little by little and in the end you sell it and buy a house.

Or as somebody pointed out you can invest in an index fund and get higher returns

Gold doesn't require maintenance

No, you're missing the point. Invest in housing.
