The oversimplified theory behind a bank’s value to a community is they lend money for an asset like building a house. It appreciates and more wealth is eventually created.
What’s the downside to the bank? Doesn’t stability help their core mission of creating wealth?
It seems like if anyone can do some sacrificing, it can be a spreadsheet waiting a few more months for a loan to get paid off.
But please help me understand if I’m missing something.
