My bank recently gave me a 30 year mortgage at 4.75%. Which of the following scenarios is my bank hoping for?
Over the next 30 years, inflation is 0% - 1% annually.
Over the next 30 years, inflation is 5% - 6% annually.
Over the next 30 years, inflation is 10% - 11% annually.
Over the next 30 years, inflation is 15% - 16% annually.
