Terry Moore (probably best known for Mighty Joe Young and an unsubstantiated marriage to Howard Hughes) is still alive, 96 years old! May she have many more! (Well, a few more, anyway...)

N.S.: Moore once noted that while in her day, it was a big deal to have a body like hers, whereas today, any gal can buy one.

She looks great for 96. I'd have guessed 28-30. Black and white photos must take years off.

Trump floats the idea of 50 year mortgages to make home "ownership" possible for many Americans. Not that this hasn't been proposed before but Trump is generating some attention to the idea. The following links are to a pro and a con argument:

One of the arguments against is the idea that with such long mortgages people are in debt for life rather than paying off a home sometime before retirement. You'll be well into old age by the time that home is paid off but if you want to have something for your children it may well benefit them.
I am a big fan of people buying homes, as long as there is property with with it. But I also understand you never truly "own" that property anyways. You are subject to taxation by the state which will confiscate your property if you don't pay up. If you take that viewpoint, you can also extend it to personal possessions. If you own anything at all it has to be kept somewhere and any property, along with your "stuff" is subject to confiscation if taxes are not paid. Even our bodies need to be parked somewhere and whatever land our carcasses are on belongs to somebody or something else.
But land with adequate dirt, if you "own" it and have the right to occupy it and use it for your own personal needs, does give you the option of growing food, keeping chickens, chopping wood etc...so you can thumb your nose at the globalists by unplugging from the economy. A home comes with a lot of expenses and isn't necessarily a better financial investment than, let's say, the stock market, but it's a way for people who can't save money to actually save something for retirement. A lot of people, about half the people in the US, if the stats I read are accurate, simply cannot save. If they have a dollar, they won't invest it or save it, they will spend it. However, many of those people will pay a mortgage every month and not touch the principal because it's in a form that can't easily be accessed. Those kind of people should absolutely buy a house because the equity in a paid off home will be worth infinitely more than the nothing they would have if they hadn't bought a home.
If there were 500 year mortgages with a monthly payment of $50 a month,the nigs and illegals STILL wouldn't make the payments on time.
