@seneca
This broke my brain a bit. Chart shows a typical $500K mortgage at 8% fixed. You’re mostly paying interest for decades. Equity only kicks in the last 7–10 years. Total paid: ~$1.2M. Interest alone: ~$700K. I get its pros but levering up into an illiquid asset in a post-ZIRP world .. ?? Pls help me make sense why this is sold as the safe and very normal thing to do.

You gotta take into account that owning land or a roof is a very important part of life.
