You seem closed minded and cocky. Empathy is a good thing, we don’t know

Sounds like you worked hard and dedicated most of your early life to work and took some big risks. And it sounds like it paid off for you. I understand and respect that. I did something similar and I have a great paying job with amazing benefits. I have no room to complain.

Rates were over 10% for almost 15 years. It wasn’t until the 1990s that we got single digit mortgage rates again. People
