In another consumer corner episode, Wade is joined again by Kira Nyland to dive into the buzz around the proposed 50-year mortgage and what it reveals about America's growing debt mindset. They break down how ultra-long mortgages can quietly extend financial bondage, why most consumers only see the "low payment" and not the true cost, and how thinking like a banker—not just a borrower—can change everything. Wade contrasts the typical consumer approach with strategies rooted in Infinite Banking, whole life insurance, and intentional cash flow, encouraging listeners to treat their money as sacred, question clickbait headlines, and make mortgage decisions that actually serve their long-term financial freedom.
