“Give me the good old days when you got CDs that paid 8%!”

I remember the early ‘80s when savings rates were in the teens. Having a savings account back then paid like a part-time job.

Of course, I wasn’t trying to buy a house (and borrow money to do it).

I had a 13% mortgage back then.
Thankfully not for long.
