The Trump administration is pushing 50-year mortgages as the "solution" to housing affordability. On the surface, it looks brilliant.
Your monthly payment on a $400K home drops from $3,327 to $2,577 - that's $750
more in your pocket every month.
But here's the brutal reality they're not telling you:

Over 50 years, you'll pay approximately $1.28 million in total payments versus $800K on a
30-year loan.
That's an extra $480,000 going straight to the bank's shareholders - not your net worth.

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.
