8 years! That's insane to me.

When I talked to him today I found out his payments were $1600 per month!

I don't know how the hell he affords it

It's literally more than my rent

That's more than my mortgage. Crazy.

Cries in Vancouver. Entry level mortgages here wind up around $5700 which is somehow more expensive than my rent on a 2 bedroom 1990s era decor apartment sitting at a market average 3850/month.

We're not super wealthy, and manage our expenses well but holy shit we're never gonna get ahead in life if this is what's in store.
