techno feudalism requires techno serfs and this is an important step in the process

Guns are still very affordable in the US

[-] SupFBI@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Extremely cucked populace.

This guy builds some of the shittiest houses ever. Crammed together boxes of tinder where there used to be woods.

Wait until they innovate multigenerational mortgages!

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, 50 years is bordering on multigenerational already

120 year mortgage that your children have to co-sign. Solves the housing crisis and also raises birth rates

Oh fuck is there precedence for this or did you make it up? I hope to God the latter

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

This is such a trap. Even assuming the same interest rate you'd get for a 30 year, you'd end up paying ~double the interest in exchange for a monthly payment that's maybe a few hundred dollars less.

On a $500,000 house with 20% down (very unlikely for anyone taking this "deal") and identical 6% interest, you'd have a monthly payment of about $2,400 on the 30 year and about $2,100 on the 50 year. Over the lifetime of the loan, though, you'd pay about $450,000 in interest on the 30 year but over $850,000 in interest on the 50. With a lower down payment or less favorable terms--highly likely for someone going for a 50 year loan--you'd end up paying over a million dollars in interest on a $500,000 home.

Even worse if you consider how 30 year rates are higher than 15s across the board regardless of credit score

[-] decaptcha@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

indeed, see also the 40 hour workweek

this is cursed as fuck

Home ownership in the US becoming further and further from possibility as is the apparent goal, amongst others.

If you 'get' a home at twenty years of age, you get the pleasure of paying for your home til you reach 70 years of age.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

and then you have to sell it to finance your medical debt or retirement home, so your kids aint getting it. they'll have to pay their own 70 year mortgage (it'll be 70 by then).

Capitalism breeding innovation

Compromise: 50 year mortgages with complete loan forgiveness after 10 years of payments

This will effectively cut the cost of housing to 1/5th and the length of a mortgage to a reasonable 10 years.

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

every ten years somebody kills a bank CEO and we get a round of debt jubilee

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Sorry, any compromise whatsoever with the gnashing maw of capitalism as it grinds our people to living death is actually radical communist extremism

"hey kids I heard you like paying ludicrous amounts of interest so we're allowing you to pay more of that!" We're so fucked

"Consumers have expressed a clear preference for assuming debt instead of buying outright"

Don’t suppose it’s too late to co-opt chud fearmongering over the WEF?

Literally “you will own nothing and be happy”, but redpilled.

yes please financialize me daddy

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

This goes well with 96 month car loans

[-] rubber_chicken@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Remember that a significant number of (cw: carnism) burgerbrains didn't go for 1/3 pound burgers over quarter pounders because 3 is smaller than 4. The same population will saddle their kids with mortgage payments on old-ass houses because 50 is bigger than 30.
