🚨 A 50-Year Mortgage? Let's Talk About the REAL Cost.

You've probably heard the buzz... they're floating the idea of a 50-year mortgage. 🤯

The immediate reaction? "Wow, a lower payment!"

But like anything that sounds too good to be true, you must apply critical thinking. I did the math using a real Santa Clarita home example, and the results are shocking.

Let's look at the numbers on a $680,000 loan:

30-Year Loan: Your payment is ~$4,298/mo.
50-Year Loan: Your payment is ~$3,833/mo.

That's a $465 monthly savings. For many families in the SCV, that's a significant difference.

But here is the trap. 🪤

Total interest paid over 30 years: $867,000
Total interest paid over 50 years: $1,620,000

That's $752,000 MORE you're paying to the bank... just for the "privilege" of that lower monthly payment.

As I say in the video, a 50-year loan means you're building equity with a spoon 🥄, not a shovel 🏗️.

In my new 5-minute video, I break down:

The amortization math (who really wins).
The rare cases where it might make sense.
A fun angle: How does AI and the idea of longer lifespans change this (or does it)?

Don't fall for the seductive, low payment. Banks love this idea because they want you in "interest mode" forever. Wealth is built by getting out of interest mode.
