I can only speak for myself, but it wasn't so much the line as the hand-waving that came with it. It was more that I found the line relatable, but you're right about it being appropriate for the scene.

Nooooo! 😭

I fuckin love you guys.

Late '80s. I was in middle school. That shit spread like wildfire.

Yeah but middle school you totally would

Edit: got me with yer frickin double negative you bastard

I don't see the problem. Oo

Insurance and property taxes aren't part of the mortgage outside of an escrow account, so yes, it is true.

Regardless, the point is still that rents will increase a lot more than monthly overhead for owning.

In the short term, renting isn't always stupid if you can own, but most of the time it is. In the long term, renting is, with very rare exceptions, much worse than buying. For context, even those who bought in 2005 at the peak of the last housing bubble on a fixed 30y are saving a fuckton by owning rather than renting. They would be paying 3-4x more renting than owning today.

And rent goes up. In 10 years, the mortgage will be the same.

Nuh uh!

No it isn't!

It's OKAY to say no.
