They live stressful lives because they're running after money

> it's more affordable to pay off a mortgage

Most people can;t afford mortgage. In most places they'll rent you a $500/month place but won't let you take a mortgage for $500/month. Not even taking into account current interest rates

Nit, but they can afford the mortgage fine, the problem is they're denied it.
