At 18% ... It wasn't even my money and I clutched my pearls. Honestly, I have no idea how they made it work -- unless they were getting help from one of their families. Or maybe both. Who knows?? All I know is 18% was too rich for my blood. Still is ... That's a crazy amount of interest to be paying on a mortgage. Or car, for that matter.  Or ... If I'm completely honest in ANYTHING ... People think if they can make the payment they can afford it without taking into account what the final cost is in the end. And then they wonder why they can't retire after 30 years ... <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷" title="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
