Hello! Jesse Cramer here.

Thank you for reading The Best Interest​

And listening to my podcast, Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors​

From the blog...

With all this ink being spilled over the 50-year mortgage proposal, we’re reaching an asymptote.

Seriously.

An asymptote is “a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any distance.”

Technically speaking, the blue line below never touches the red one, but the gap between them gets infinitesimally small, approaches zero, and might trigger your inner Isaac Newton to invent calculus.

And in the purest mathematical way, mortgages eventually hit their own asymptote.

Long-duration mortgages become identical to infinite (aka interest-only) mortgages.

On the podcast...

As I'm tucking into a small slice of pumpkin pie, I'm welcoming Dr. Phil Pearlman on Episode 122 of Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors.

Phil is a psychologist, behavioral finance veteran, and founder of the Pearl Institute, where he focuses on how long-term health and long-term wealth are two sides of the same coin.

It's a perfect reminder as we start the holiday season 🎅🦃
