    Yes, I understand what collateral is. It’s something the bank owns, but allows you to use until you’ve paid it off. For example, the bank keeps the title to my car until I’ve paid it off, and then they send me the title.

      You know what, the way you said it this time just really clicked. I now also hate banks. Good talk.
