Freakonomics Radio is sponsored by Figure. Did you know that 40% of homeowners own their home outright? If that's you, don't let your equity sit idle. Tap it with a home equity line of credit. Figure, the number one non-bank HELOC lender in the U.S., helps tap equity you've built in your home so you can do things like tackle a renovation or pay down debt. HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home. You can draw what you need, repay, and draw again. Figure offers a 100% online application, get approved in five minutes, and funding in as few as five days. It's faster than a bank loan and cheaper than a personal loan. Check your rate today without impacting your credit at figure.com slash Freakonomics. This post is sponsored by Figure, NMLS ID 1717824. Figure is an equal housing lender.
