Maybe its me but I don't get why people see getting a mortgage as such a congratulations moment. Paying off the all the mortgage is.
A mutual friend has just got a mortgage on a flat, other friend thinks its the the done thing to send a congratulations card for "buying a flat".
I see it as the bank has just bought a flat and she will have to pay them back or she will very quickly find herself homeless. And has the risk of always needing a well paid job for 25 years and could have her disposable income slashes if rates do rise.
Am I just being too cynical?
