A friend in Denmark got paid $25 a month by his bank on an adjustable-rate mortgage when rates went negative. Bridger Pennington explains how negative interest rates work and why they happen, using real examples instead of theory.

He's like, I have a friend in Denmark. He had an adjustable rate mortgage. His mortgage went negative. The bank was paying him $25 a month to have a mortgage. That's a negative interest rate. You know, you buy a bond and you get a yield like you get a 4%, 5%. A negative interest rate is I'm buying a bond and you just hold the money and I'll pay you a fee for holding the money. It's very interesting. It's a strange world.
