This. I'm from India, and the most important goal for any salaried person in India, is to own a piece of land. Maybe 150 - 200 square yards (decently sized to build a 3 bedroom house). And that land is not seen as an expense, but as an investment. An investment to be handed over to children.
And usually, families try to buy about 1 plot of land for each child typically.
I think that, no matter where you are in the world, land is an important asset. A place to live, a house to cover your head, reduces a lot of stress in life.
In India, there are three things considered first and foremost in life "Roti, Kapda Makaan".
Roti - Food
Kapda - Clothing
Makaaan - House.
