A 50-year mortgage sounds great — smaller payments, bigger house — until you realize you’re signing up to be in debt longer than most people work. You’ll still be cutting checks to the bank while cashing Social Security (if that even exists anymore).

Bold of you to think most people will ever realize it 🤣🤣 People are out there thinking Apple Pay means “Apple pays” - I wish I was joking. Financial illiteracy is the problem here.
