My partner blindly trusted his mother with their shared mortgage, and it didn't end well.

And that's what they call a blind trust in the financial world.

I don't think that's true, but you know what is true?

It's Call Your Mother Week on the OK Storytime podcast, where we're exploring the complicated,

and he doesn't have online access to the loan and didn't fully understand how equity or liability worked.

That is a recipe for disaster.

In the last few weeks, I've discovered that the loan, which was originally $400,000 in 2021, has since grown to over 600K.
