The same but different

Working and living (buying your home) in a country is a choice most people do voluntary. Either you are born in the country or chosen to move there.

Such an investment can be compared to investing money on the stock exchange. The salary can be compared to a share and likewise the housing if you choose to buy your own home.

The central bank in the country in question can choose to have a zero or even negative yield and that makes the "share" AKA  the salary or the housing to lose in value to the outside world.
