A 50 year mortgage is basically an interest only loan. AKA rent.
The median age of first time home buyers is 40
The US lifespan is 78

Buying a $1M home with 20% down and a 50-year fixed mortgage at 6%?
Your loan is $800k.
Your monthly payment is ~$4,317.
After 30 years you’ll have paid $1.55M but only $201k of that is principal.
You’d still owe about $599k.
50-year mortgages barely touch the principal for decades.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
