Let's stop pretending. Let's call this what it is.

Let's stop pretending. Let's call this what it is. The housing system wasn't designed to put roofs over our heads. It was designed to create a class of permanent, compliant debtors. It was built to tie our basic human need for shelter to a lifetime of labor, under the constant threat of losing everything.

Who truly benefits from this?

The Banks and Lenders: They profit from the interest you pay for 30 years. Your lifetime of work is their guaranteed revenue stream.

The System Itself: It creates a population that is too tired, too indebted, and too fearful to challenge the status quo. A person worried about their next mortgage payment is not a person who can easily demand change.

How the 30-Year Mortgage is Modern Servitude

Think about the terms. "Servitude" means being forced to work for another's benefit, with the threat of punishment if you stop. That is exactly what a mortgage becomes for so many. You are told to be grateful for the "opportunity" to sign a document that chains you to a specific path for the next three decades. You must work. You must accept wages you cannot negotiate. You must stay in a job you may hate. You must obey, because one misstep—one layoff, one medical crisis—and the system you've paid into for years will evict you and take it all.

This isn't an investment; it's a leash. You work to pay for the privilege of continuing to work. You sacrifice your time, your health, your dreams, and precious moments with your family—not to build a legacy, but to avoid financial execution.

This is the World We Are Handing to Our Children

We are forcing the next generation to inherit a life where "home" doesn't mean security—it means a 30-year sentence of obligatory labor. We are teaching them that their freedom is conditional on their willingness to serve a machine that feels no loyalty to them.

We have a duty, a profound and urgent duty, to break this chain. Our children deserve to build lives, not just service debts. They deserve the freedom to create, to take risks, to pursue passion, and to know that the roof over their head is a foundation, not a trigger held to their head.

We can either accept this as the price of admission, or we can finally declare that our children's futures are not for sale. We can reject the lie that this is freedom, and build a system where a home is a right, not a reward for a lifetime of silent servitude.

Be the parent who stands up and pushes for a better future for your children. We can build a system that gives every family the tools to grow, not struggle.

We owe the next generation a world with real opportunities — that's part of who we are at our core. We want people to succeed, to build, to grow. But instead, we're watching a society filled with traps, failures, and systems that offer no real benefit for those doing the hard work. It feels less like a society built for people… and more like one managed for the highest bidder.

When a system is built to extract from people instead of support them — when their lives, labor, and futures are treated as nothing more than resources for the highest bidder — it becomes a form of economic exploitation so severe that it strips away humanity. It isn't the same as human trafficking, but it reflects the same dangerous idea: that people exist only for someone else's gain.

You deserve better. Your kids deserve better. And you should never feel humiliated for struggling in an inhumane system.

Because this system has never cared whether you break. It only cares whether you pay. Real families shouldn't live under pressure that treats them like disposable parts of someone else's profit machine. Real parents shouldn't have to fear that one job loss will erase everything they ever earned. Real children shouldn't inherit a world where "home" means 30 years of debt and permanent anxiety.

This isn't how society should work. This is how a psychopathic economic structure works — one designed without empathy, without love, without humanity. And we can either keep pretending this is normal… Or we can finally look at it for what it is — and change it together.

The choice is ours. What legacy will we leave?

By the way, we can change this system to benefit all of us, not just some.
