    Unpopular opinion, but if future generations are going to be able to own a home in the lands of their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents, rates need to continue to rise and debt costs need to come way up so people start using money instead of debt.

    Does Australia have long long term mortgages like America’s 30 year? In canuckistan over 90% of mortgages are 5 years or less because a 10 year has a couple percent premium and by the time you hit 20 years you were looking at like an 8% rate when you could get 5 years for like 2%.

    If Australia is similar to canada in that regard, the real scary part will be when the fixed rate mortgages taken out during the pandemic reset in about 2 years.
