And it's a double-edged sword, that can serve and punish you. Just need to be smart.

Loan 350k
Today outstanding: 320k
Already served 6 years plus, 1500 monthly

6 x 12 x 1500 = 108k
108k - 30k = 78k

Bank already earned 78k interest from me, bloody hell
Gov should do sthg, how can house loan be so expensive...

Housing loan interest is simple to understand la, go get a loan without understanding is just dumb.

Not so smart if he put it elsewhere that was yielding more than the housing loan interest rate

House loan should follow car loan, max 9 years and fixed interest. Today bought Benz 300k loan 9 years also not this expensive. How come house loan interest so high than car?

You are extra bodoh, a car loan's actual Effective Interest rate is nearly double the published simple interest rate.
