Fastest Four: The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages


Listen Later

Would you pay for your house for 50 years? The Trump administration is floating a plan to allow banks to offer 50-year mortgages—and while the headline sounds like “affordable homeownership,” the math tells a very different story.

In this week’s Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down what a 50-year mortgage really means for buyers, including:

  • How much you actually save per month compared to a 30-year mortgage
  • The massive spike in total interest you’d pay over the life of the loan
  • Why it would take 30 years to build $100,000 of equity
  • How today’s affordability challenges compare across generations
  • Why stretching debt longer isn’t the solution—and what is
  • If you’re trying to make smart decisions about homeownership, rising costs, or long-term financial planning, this episode gives you the clear, level-headed breakdown the headlines aren’t showing you.
