POV: Your Life at Every Level of Mortgage Debt in Canada 2026

Описание: POV: Your Life at Every Level of Mortgage Debt in Canada 2026


In Canada in 2026, not all mortgage debt is the same. A $400,000 mortgage and a $1,000,000 mortgage are not just different numbers — they are completely different lives. This video walks through all four levels of Canadian mortgage debt, what each one actually costs per month, what life looks like at each level, and the one number almost no Canadian looks at before they sign.

🏠 The $400,000 mortgage — who qualifies, what life looks like, total cost
🏠 The $600,000 mortgage — where discipline stops being optional
🏠 The $800,000 mortgage — house rich, cash poor, the real math
🏠 The $1,000,000 mortgage — top 5% income, 60% of take-home going to housing
🏠 The total interest paid at every level — the number the bank doesn't show you upfront
🏠 How every $200K added to your mortgage adds $325K to your lifetime cost
🏠 The hidden costs of Canadian homeownership most people never calculate

All scenarios based on 4.5% fixed rate, 25-year amortization, 20% down payment — mid-2026 Canadian market conditions.
