Applying for a mortgage used to mean sitting down with a banker and talking through real life decisions. Today, it can take five minutes online.

No long conversations. No real discussion about affordability. Just an approval — and suddenly you’re committed for decades.

When we applied for our mortgage, the process felt surprisingly easy. Almost too easy. No deep questions about expenses, sustainability, or long-term risk.

It makes you wonder: should life-changing financial decisions really be this frictionless?
