Trump wants to introduce 50-year mortgages in the United States — but in Sweden, people already live that way. In this episode, Josh and John break down the cultural, economic, and emotional differences between how Americans and Swedes think about housing.
We talk about:
Why Swedes take 50-year (or interest-only!) loans without blinking
Why Americans MUST “own” their home — and why they fear the bank
Whether Trump’s proposal helps people or traps them
Amortization rules, refinancing, and trust in institutions
The surprising reasons young people struggle entering the market
A fun, honest, and very real conversation about two totally different worlds of home-ownership.
