    The original comment was "lol people don't know how mortgages work" which is actually very different from where you moved the goalposts "people don't know mortgages exist" because you know I'm right about financial literacy and the comment sounding kind of classist. We're done here though this is clearly a waste of time.

      Yes, I'm moving the goal post here. The amount that you would need to know how mortgages work is that it's a loan you pay back over time, which is the core concept, which unless you're trying really really hard to have something to argue against is tantamount to knowing they exist. Glad you're done tho

        I actually didn't know how mortgages worked until I heard about this story and googled it. Should have said that sooner, but I forgo 💀

          Fucking Chad move.

          I don't know anything other than what I've already explained and that it's more complicated than that. I just know it's a loan that you pay back over time with interest. I've never opened Excel in my life, I don't know any of this briefcase shit.
