👉 In the realm of language and puns, "mortgage keeps going up" is a term that many use to describe a situation where interest rates on home mortgages are steadily rising over time, often leading to financial hardship for borrowers.
Example sentence: "During his last mortgage payment, he had an unexpected phone call from his landlord asking him to take out another one." This sentence could be interpreted in various ways, depending on the context: - "The mortgage went up by 20% on their next bill," - "His home equity went up by $50,000 just this week." However, if you were to ask someone about it, they might respond with a "mortgage's got to go up or we're in for the winter!" – signifying that any attempts to keep their mortgage balance down will inevitably lead to higher monthly payments.
