5.5% is still historically reasonable. Look at what rates were in the 70s and 80s. The issue is so many people got used to the ridiculously low rates over the last 10 or so years.

70s and 80s? You talking about the drastic fed action to break stagflation? How are you using that as a baseline?

That doesn’t mean much on it’s, you can’t compare interest rates between different periods without taking into account inflation.

> were in the 70s and 80s

Economically that wasn’t a good period though.

The issue is asset prices are higher now.
