OK how about this?
If you buy and pay for a house on a 30 year mortgage, depending on the interest rate, you will eventually pay about twice the home price for that home.
Consider this, when we got married, 41 years ago, my wonderful wife and I agreed, never to pay interest on anything. In all these years, we have not paid one dime in interest, nothing. We save for what we want it and buy it. Once, I wanted a new car, so we picked it out and wanted to pay cash, no one in the agency knew how to handle a cash payment for a new car!!! They took a copy of my drivers license, they gave me the keys and told me to come back and pay the owner in one week because he was on vacation; only he could manage a cash payment.
