OT - How could I argue? After all, the root meaning of mortgage in Latin is "death pledge." How about that for a career choice? "Um...hey daddy, what do you do for a living? Well honey, basically I put people in a debt so large they usually die with it. That's great daddy..."
BTW EVERYONE here who has a) discretionary income and b) can truly live a disciplined financial life should look into Macquarie Mortgage products. Awesome and fundamentally different from front-end loaded interest American mortgages. This product is most Australians and many Europeans pay their primary home off in 9-11 years. It's all about interest paid vs. interest rate. Just discovered them and am going to put myself, my parents and some of my high financial discipline clients in them. Great tool for debt reduction or asset growth, and no I don't sell them (yet).
Have a great weekend everyone...(GO GATORS!)
