a fifty year mortgage will mean triple the price
in interest.

Based on the provided information, a 50-year mortgage on a $100,000 loan would result in significantly higher total interest payments compared to a 25-year mortgage, primarily due to the extended repayment period.
For a 50-year mortgage, the total interest expense can be substantial. Using a 6.75% interest rate on a $400,000 loan, the total interest paid over 50 years would be $998,315, which equates to $249,578.75 per $100,000 of loan principal.
This demonstrates the immense cost of a 50-year term.
In contrast, a 25-year mortgage at a 5% interest rate would result in $118,000 in interest payments, while a 4% rate would result in $109,000 in interest payments.
Even using a higher rate of 6.17% on a $415,200 home (with a 10% down payment), the total interest paid on a 25-year mortgage would be significantly less than on a 50-year term.
Therefore, the total interest cost on a 50-year mortgage for a $100,000 loan would be approximately $249,579, which is nearly $140,000 more than the $118,000 paid on a 25-year mortgage at 5%, and over $140,000 more than the $109,000 paid on a 25-year mortgage at 4%.

On November 12, 2025, the House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of additional pages of documents obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including new emails that mention former President Donald Trump.
Among the documents is a 2018 email exchange in which Epstein referred to Trump as “borderline insane”.
The release of these documents follows a previous batch released by Democrats on September 26, 2025, which included mentions of figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Prince Andrew.
The latest release, described as a significant trove, was made public on the same day as the House Republicans released 20,000 pages from the Epstein estate, likely in response to the Democrats’ earlier disclosures.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, claimed the new documents prove “absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” asserting that Trump had cut ties with Epstein due to his alleged criminal behavior.
The documents are part of an ongoing production from the Epstein estate in compliance with a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee in late August 2025.

Oversight Democrats Release Third Batch of Documents from Jeffrey Epstein Estate, Includes Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Prince Andrew Mentions

DEMOCRAT RELEASE
Washington, D.C. — Today, Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released partial records from the third batch of documents produced by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate, which includes phone message logs, copies of flight logs and manifests for aircrafts, copies of financial ledgers, and Epstein’s daily schedule.The documents produced to the public include mentions of possible contact between Jeffrey Epstein and prominent figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Prince Andrew. Further review of the documents, which were redacted to protect the identity of victims, is ongoing.
“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims. Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes. It’s past time for Attorney General Bondi to release all the files now,” said Oversight Spokesperson Sara Guerrero.
Within documents of Epstein’s schedule, there is evidence that Thiel and Bannon had scheduled meetings with Epstein, as well as evidence of a pending trip by Elon Musk to Epstein’s island. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures providing possible evidence of payments from Epstein to masseuses on behalf of an individual identified as “Andrew.” Extensive redactions have been made to protect victims as Committee investigators continue to analyze the new documents. This is a rolling production, and the Committee expects to receive more documents in response to these and other requests.
In the third batch, the Oversight Committee received 8,544 documents responsive to the Committee’s subpoena from August. The following was received:
Phone Message Logs from 2002-2005, which were produced previously in litigation
Copies of flight logs and flight manifests for aircraft, including helicopters, that Mr. Epstein owned, rented, leased, operated or used from 1990-2019
Copies of ledgers reflecting transactions recorded as cash transactions for Mr. Epstein and business entities. These documents were previously shown to Committee staff at in camera review.
Epstein’s daily schedules between 2010 and 2019

This is Donald Trump’s world—we’re all just living in it. The disruptor-in-chief was the biggest factor shaping global affairs in 2025, and that will be the case for as long as he remains in the White House. His norm-shattering approach has caused turmoil in some areas (as in trade) but has also delivered diplomatic results (as in Gaza) and forced necessary change (as with European defence spending). As the Trumpnado spins on in 2026, here are ten trends and themes to watch in the coming year.
-
America’s 250th.
Expect to hear wildly diverging accounts of America’s past, present and future, as Republicans and Democrats describe the same country in irreconcilably different terms to mark the 250th anniversary of its founding. Voters will then give their verdict on America’s future in the midterm elections in November. But even if the Democrats take the House, Mr Trump’s rule by bullying, tariffs and executive orders will go on.
-
Geopolitical drift.
Foreign-policy analysts are divided: is the world in a new cold war, between blocs led by America and China, or will a Trumpian deal divide the planet into American, Russian and Chinese “spheres of influence”, in which each can do as they please? Don’t count on either. Mr Trump prefers a transactional approach based on instinct, not grand geopolitical paradigms. The old global rules-based order will drift and decay further. But “coalitions of the willing” will strike new deals in areas such as defence, trade and climate.
-
War or peace? Yes.
With luck, the fragile peace in Gaza will hold. But conflicts will grind on in Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar. Russia and China will test America’s commitment to its allies with “grey-zone” provocations in northern Europe and the South China Sea. As the line between war and peace becomes ever more blurred, tensions will rise in the Arctic, in orbit, on the sea floor and in cyberspace.
-
Problems for Europe.
All this poses a particular test for Europe. It must increase defence spending, keep America on side, boost economic growth and deal with huge deficits, even though austerity risks stoking support for hard-right parties. It also wants to remain a leading advocate for free trade and greenery. It cannot do all of these at once. A splurge on defence spending may lift growth, but only slightly.
-
China’s opportunity.
China has its own problems, with deflation, slowing growth and an industrial glut, but Mr Trump’s “America First” policy opens up new opportunities for China to boost its global influence. It will present itself as a more reliable partner, particularly in the global south, where it is striking a string of trade agreements. It is happy to do tactical deals with Mr Trump on soyabeans or chips. The trick will be to keep relations with America transactional, not confrontational.
With rich countries living beyond their means, the risk of a bond-market crisis is growing
Continued
-
Economic worries.
So far America’s economy is proving more resilient than many expected to Mr Trump’s tariffs, but they will dampen global growth. And with rich countries living beyond their means, the risk of a bond-market crisis is growing. Much will depend on the replacement of Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve in May; politicising the Fed could trigger a market showdown.
-
Concerns over AI.
Rampant spending on infrastructure for artificial intelligence may also be concealing economic weakness in America. Will the bubble burst? As with railways, electricity and the internet, a crash would not mean that the technology does not have real value. But it could have wide economic impact. Either way, concern about AI’s impact on jobs, particularly those of graduates, will deepen.
-
A mixed climate picture.
Limiting warming to 1.5°C is off the table, and Mr Trump hates renewables. But global emissions have probably peaked, clean tech is booming across the global south and firms will meet or exceed their climate targets—but will keep quiet about it to avoid Mr Trump’s ire. Geothermal energy is worth watching.
-
Sporting values.
Sport can always be relied upon to provide a break from politics, right? Well, maybe not in 2026. The football World Cup is being jointly hosted by America, Canada and Mexico, whose relations are strained. Fans may stay away. But the Enhanced Games, in Las Vegas, may be even more controversial: athletes can use performance-enhancing drugs. Is it cheating—or just different?
-
Ozempic, but better.
Better, cheaper GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are coming, and in pill form, too. That will expand access. But is taking them cheating? GLP-1s extend the debate about the ethics of performance-enhancing drugs to a far wider group than athletes or bodybuilders. Few people compete in the Olympics. But anyone can take part in the Ozempic games.
Wherever you stand on performance-enhancing drugs, I hope you will find The World Ahead 2026 to be a valuable and effective supplement to your media diet, boosting clarity and foresight. ■●
