在房價飛漲的年代,買房的同時也意味著背上了沉重的負(fù)債,如果你背上的房貸很難在你有生之年還清,那么你就成了homedebtor。
Recent homebuyers are becoming homedebtors at the same time. A homedebtor is a homeowner with an extremely large mortgage, particularly one that he or she is unlikely to ever pay off
近些年不少人在買房的同時也背上了巨額房貸,成為了homedebtor。Homedebtor指的是房貸數(shù)額特別巨大的人,有的大到這輩子也難以還清。
In the end, millions of homedebtors will lose their homes, the homes they told everyone they "owned", the homes everyone told them would "be a great investment".
最終,數(shù)百萬身背巨額房貸的人將失去他們的房子,這個他們曾告知天下“屬于自己的”房子,這個人人都說將是“非常好的投資”的房子。
These perpetual debtors/serfs will probably never own the home outright, thanks to cyclical refinancing (used to fund conspicuous consumption) and property taxes.
這些長期的債務(wù)人兼房奴將很可能永遠(yuǎn)無法完全擁有這個房子,因為炫耀性消費需要周期性的再融資來提供資金,也因為房產(chǎn)稅的存在。
