Respect My Authoritah Mortgage Mess

Alright, listen up, you guys. Cartman here, reporting on some serious crap going down with these stupid mortgages. So, apparently, a bunch of lame-o homeowners are falling behind on their payments. Yeah, you heard me right. Late-stage mortgage delinquencies – those payments that are like, WAY past due – jumped almost 19% in December. Nineteen percent Seriously Think about all the cheesy poofs you could buy with that kind of money. And these snowflakes are too dumb to pay their bills. It's like, get your act together, you guys. Don't be such whiners.

Blame Canada High Prices

And get this, the so-called experts are saying it's because everything's too expensive. Duh. Like I didn't know that already. They're all crying about how home prices are still sky-high even though they've "eased" a little. Oh boo-hoo. A single-family home still costs like $409,500. That's more than I'd spend on a freakin' solid gold statue of myself. It’s all Trudeau’s fault, I tell you. Speaking of financial nightmares, you should check out Japan's Stock Market Hits Record High Following Election Triumph – at least someone is doing well.

Screw You Guys I'm Going Home to My Mortgage

So these dumb economists are saying that one of three things needs to happen to make buying a house not completely retarded. Either mortgage rates need to plummet to like, 2%, incomes need to go through the roof, or house prices need to crash and burn. Well duh. It's like, no freakin' brainer. They figure that mortgage payments are taking up more than 30% of the average person's income. What a joke. I wouldn't pay that much for anything unless it involved token. Which is what I’m gonna do right now.

Homeowners Insurance is a Ripoff Kyle

And of course, it's not just the mortgages that are screwing everyone over. Homeowners insurance is also going up. It jumped like 6.5% last year. More money out of the poor working-class American’s wallet. Plus property taxes keep going up because those greedy government people want even more of your hard-earned cash. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. A freakin' conspiracy.

Don't Be Poor Advice From Cartman

Some so-called financial planner says you shouldn't buy a house you can't afford. No crap. But seriously, don't be a dumbass. Just because some stupid lender says you can borrow a million bucks doesn't mean you should. You need to save money for cheesy poofs and kick-ass video games. So listen to Cartman. He knows what's up.

Emergency Savings Are for Butters

These financial losers are saying that you should have like, six months of living expenses saved up for emergencies. What a load of crap. That money is better spent on getting what you want, right now. Like a sweet new gaming console or a solid-gold Hummer. That's what I'd do. The hell with saving and being responsible. That's for Butters.
