Do you really "own" your home if you have a mortgage?

Her team helped her get all of that sorted out and helped her figure out how much she needed to save to make a $12,000 down payment on a $300,000 home.

With a 30 year mortgage and average current interest rates, that's like a $2200 monthly payment give or take taxes and insurance. I feel bad for this person as ownership is tenuous at best. The downpayment is basically a 6 month deposit.

We shouldn't need to be getting mortgages in our 70s...or ever. Goddamn just let people live.
