Yep. And my last mortgage was 10%. Interest rates have been too low for too long.

But I doubt you were buying a $90k truck though.
Vehicle prices are crazy. Just a short time ago we had zero percent interest on auto loans. Low gas prices, stable country.
Stolen elections have surely left a mark!

Automakers might issue bonds paying somewhat more than banks pay on CDs.

Automakers can then make auto loans so their factories stay busy.

I miss mean tweets and low interest rates.

Except the interest was deductible against your FICA tax back then.

Bond Funds have gone to shit. Vanguard. Fidelity. So much for “stable investments.”

Rates are just now getting back to the long term averages.

Too many got too used to the cheap money of the last 15 years.

Anything that helps stop people from buying cars using big loans is good, since most people don’t understand what a bad idea that is.
