Title: Local Man Discovers Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Went Up 0.5% While He Was Busy Refinancing His Cat’s Tiny House, AITA for Laughing at His Misery?
AITA or is it just me, but has anyone else noticed that the ‘mortgage loan interest rate’ is now basically a game of “how much chaos can we inject into your life before you cry into your avocado toast?” My buddy spent three weeks hunting for the perfect rate, only to wake up this morning, check his spam filters, and realize the bank slipped him a 7.2% rate while he was asleep. Dude’s now paying more for his cardboard-box condo than I do for my rent-controlled broom closet. But wait, it gets better—he tried to call customer service, and they put him on hold for 45 minutes with a loop of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.” TL;DR: the housing market is a dumpster fire, banks are the arsonists, and we’re all just squirrels trying to hoard acorns in a recession. Upvote if you’re also convinced the Fed secretly runs a betting pool on our despair. 🤡🔥
