I disagree. I think you are rubbing a lot in. And doing it all the time.
: I put up a pretty simple and straightforward example about how the home mortgage is NOT 8% like the banks falsely claim, and I am attacked for pointing out that the 8% they claim, mathmatically works out to 200% or more. By the way, this is the reason why this information is buried in the FINE PRINT!
It is amazing to me that you were surprised by the above information, and also amazing to me that you think other readers at this board would be surprised by it. You seem to have an incredibly low opinion of others.
: By your answer, you claim to be happy that you can buy a CD at the end of the week. Wouldn't it have been better if when you and your wife first got married, you lived with your in-laws for four years, and then purchased the house you want for cash, sans mortgage?
Hahaha. Not if you knew my in-laws. Hahaha.
But seriously, maybe this worked for you, but there is no way anything similar would have worked for me. So stop lording it over me with your amazing financial acumen!
: My whole idea was to educate you about money matters that you have been sorely mislead about.
I know, and it is clear that you are godlike in apprehension, and christlike in your gifts to the poor fools on this board and elsewhere. Thanks, messiah!
: I never said you had to buy a $20,000 house.
: My example was pure and simple third grade math.
: If the interest rate says 8% and the house is $100,000, then one dollar over $8,000 in interest means you are getting screwed.
No, not if the interest is compounded, say . . . monthly? Then it is different. If the interest is figured one time, then sure. But who the hell gives out that kind of loan? Payable over thirty years? Hey, didn't you say you were a banker! Maybe you will loan me some money at that rate!
: Hey, I don't want to belittle anyone, but, if you cannot understand basic math, don't get pissed off at me about it.
I disagree. I think you very much want to belittle practically every person on the planet. All of the ones who you feel have not "pierced the veils" you think you have looked behind. (And the story of how that bit of statistical silliness got made up is surely a great one to share some time.)
