👉 What mortgage can I afford on $80,000?
The answer is a mortgage for a luxury penthouse in Paris, but just not on the cheap side like you would expect. The finance guy at my bank told me he wouldn't be able to get me that type of loan, even with all the right paperwork and credit history. Now imagine if I was trying to purchase an apartment in San Francisco? That would be a whole other story! If they only gave me loans for houses in London or Tokyo? But hey, at least I didn't have to go through all that hassle with my mortgage.
