You’re a millennial. You’re 40. You get a house with a 50 year mortgage. You pay it off until you die at 82. The bank keeps the house and the money. You beat the system somehow.

I guess the plan is for hyperinflation to hit and then you just pay it all off or something.

I think they're suggesting that somehow the U.S. collapses before the term of that loan is up

Maybe I’m dooming too hard, but I find it easier to believe that the US will collapse than that the banks will. This feels like a sign that maybe I need to go outside or something.
