No I'm not talking about your penis. I'm saying they probably suckered you into a juicy mortgage at/near the peak for your area and it's going to decline going forward leaving you in a house that will barely match inflation while at the same time, paying 25% of the peak value in interest.
FOMO from indexing = people see the bull run of the last N years, getin on it and don't see that there are two possibilities:
1. Perma-bull => this is bad, real inflation is high, you will feel it later
2. Not perma-bull => Serious correction coming
With option 1 + mortgage, you _probably_ end up even since the value of your money is decreasing significantly and so the mortgage you pay is worth less with each passing year.
With option 2, since you are indexing, it could take you up to 20 years to catch up if we have a depression-like correction. And that is the point at which you may be even.
Neither of these options leave you with a better life. Therefore, your quality of life is going to decrease. FEAR THE BANKS.
