Is a 40-year mortgage really that bad? Honestly, not at all — and here's why.
Houses are so much more expensive now than they were a generation ago. A longer term keeps your monthly payments lower, which can make a huge difference in those early years when money is tightest.
Yes, you'll pay more interest overall — but there are ways to bring that down as you go. Overpayments, adjusting your term at remortgage... it's not as daunting as it sounds.
