Everyone’s talking about Trump’s floated idea of 50-year (and even 100-year) mortgages, but do longer loan terms actually solve the affordability problem? In this episode, we break down the math, the psychology, and the reality behind why housing feels unaffordable… and what’s truly driving the crisis.

Inside the episode:
• The emotional vs mathematical side of affordability
• Hidden ownership costs skyrocketing beyond rates & prices
• Why stretching to a 50-year mortgage barely changes your payment
• How to get into a home strategically
• The #1 reason most buyers still feel stuck
• Tactical strategies: subsidy accounts, co-investing, house hacking & more

If you want real strategies (not headlines) to make homeownership work in 2025, this episode is for you.
