Notice Nancy purchased her posh Florida retirement villa before that happens?

LOL! She could have bought that out of petty cash.

I really doubt she & her inside trading husband want to pay the capital gains on liquidated investments just so they can brag about “paying cash”. But yes their net worth would probably allow the Pelosi’s to own a huge chunk of the Florida Atlantic coastline.

Millions did so before the last major market adjustment circa ~2008. They did so because they assumed the market would continue to escalate and they would sell after a few months/years and reap windfall profits.

Some succeeded. Many didn't. Lehman Brothers, for example, didn't succeed.

In 1978, car loans were 20% and up and in 1993 when I bought my first house it was 8%.

When the rates start going up, the Real Estate market and the debtor class is going to take a beating, BIG TIME!!

Gold is the Money of Kings
Silver is the Money of gentlemen
Barter is the Money of peasants and
DEBT is the Money of SLAVES

Yep! I've been putting off moving out of my townhome to a small, single level, single family home for the past two years because the real estate market has been crazy.

I can't wait to pay cash for a home that's lost its hyped-up market value and the idiots who over-paid for it can't afford it anymore, and are selling it at a big loss.

About 6-9 months too late for this. Inflation will continue to rise before slowly coming down

Tough. It is time to quit giving money away. Should have never gone below 6%.

I would not worry too much though.

Raising rates enough to mean enough would break the already busted budget to pieces and put a real damper on give aways.

“Ports of LA and LB see 33% decrease in container backlogs.”

But still 1,000% backlogs due to the mismanagement of transportation by the liberals.

There are still 1,000% backlogs compared to when Trump had things running smoothly.

Well I’m no fan of central banking which makes me a bit of a Jacksonian. Cheap money is definitely part of the reason we took on massive debts in the USA.
