the chart is created by the TS i assume, because it doesn't make sense at all. you're compared FD with loan payments, of course the lines go opposite directions. if a poor man puts his money in FD he'll be making money as well.
that is cash flow chart. if u loan that means u pay money reduct from ur money u will negatif and negatif. corect izit???
like u said, if poor man can put his money into FD. so he no need to borrow loan already. right? he consider is a rich man. then ur point cant make it.

how do u define can afford?
if my income 4k, i buy a 150k house, I can't afford it and borrow from bank, pay installment for 15 years
if my income 2k, i buy a 150k house, I can't afford it and borrow from bank, pay installment for 30 years
In both case, 2k or 4k salary also can't afford to buy a house with 1 payment ... but both also able to pay that long years, does it count as can afford or can't afford?
ReWer, i agree v u. now is big gap betteew high income (boss) and low income (monthly salary).
that y the chart show rich more richer. poor more poorer.
with the low salary like u say 4k o 2k oso, all will paying to bank. in the end, banker is the winner...
