👉 The word "mortgage or invest" is often used as a euphemism for financial transactions that involve borrowing money to acquire assets such as properties or investments.
Example: The new homeowner took out a mortgage on their $200,000 home and now they're in the middle of renovating it. They've invested heavily into modern appliances and fixtures while maintaining a 401(k) account for retirement savings. This euphemism is not only amusing but also unsettling because it implies that financial transactions can go wrong and that personal responsibilities are minimized.
