I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'financial burden' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'get margo prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'get'+'margo'='getmargo'
'getmargo' anagrammed gives 'MORTGAGE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mortgage that I've seen before include "Home loan" , "Loan agreement for purchase of property" , "Loan secured against property" , "Pledge as security" , "Met aggro from agreement to hold property as security" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
