Mortgage Slaves
The phrase applies to people heavily indebted through acquiring a mortgage when purchasing a house. The homebuyers often have to pay as high as 40% to 50% of their yearly income toward the principal and interest of their mortgage over the course of 20 to 30 years. As a result, the family suffers long term pressures as mortgage repayments would have a significant effect on their expenses for education, medical, and senior care.
