Household Finances And The Future Of Interest Rates: With Steve Mickenbecker

I caught up with Steve Mickenbecker from Canstar to look at the latest in interest rates and how this is playing through into mortgage, savings and credit card rates. The bottom line is there is a wider disparity between the best and worst rates, and households need to shop around, especially as the official cash rate might be going higher ahead.

    Thanks, Martin, Steve made a good point that all older viewers will know instinctively that rates are actually not high at all. They are just about average 😮

    There's a financial cost to refinance (fees). Also, fixed rates mean you can't make extra repayments. I'm concentrating on extra repayments... And interest rates are normal, not high. If you think they are high now you ain't seen nothing yet. We have a generation or two of increasing rates. Think of the seventies or eighties.

    I've never seen so many Investmemt property gurus on the internet as late. Self- leveraged to the eye balls. Australia cannot keep going on its Aussie housing Ponzi scheme in a way of relying on immigrants, holiday makers (air bnb stayers) and government policy to continue propping it up. If society focused on paying their principle place of residents and invested in manufacturing, technology or other means of transportation for international interests then this house of cards would not be balancing on its paper and in its stead actual financial stability. It's not a matter of if but when with the great Australian house of cards. Martin I ask you as I am interested in your answer. If in our life time the cards crash on the Australian Housing market. What do you believe it will be? - Wages out of reach for investment? - Credit serviceability defaults? - Government policy/ negative gearing & SMSF taxable rightoffs on investment propertys? Or anything else that comes to mind that may have overlooked?

    Those "Investment property gurus" are the now 14,000 or so buyers agents which seem to have emerged during covid. ALL suggest interest rates are set to return to the natural level of ZERO. Therefore you MUST buy now, in order to front run the MASSIVE increase in prices which will happen once rates drop. See you buyers agent NOW, fees will vary between 14,000 and 22,000 to assist in making your next purchase!

    Interest rates are going up. The US government has to refinance 7 Trillion dollars of their 33Trillion dollar debt this year. 1. They may take on new debt is to pay back the old. More borrowing = higher rates. 2. They may print the new money. This will give Higher inflation and thus higher rates. 3. Tgey do not have th cash to pay back the debt. Only way for rates is higher!
