<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SD51555, post: 2235231, member: 71871&quot;]Forgive me if I don&#039;t tie this entire thought together.&nbsp; But what if interest rates went up and people opted to save by buying government bonds if they actually paid something beyond perceived inflation?&nbsp; Why don&#039;t our citizens own our debt?&nbsp; What happened to the days of everyone buying bonds? It&#039;s worthless.&nbsp; That&#039;s why. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe taking the foot off the monetary snow maker (and a rate rise) might cause a shift back to equity and cash in purchases vs chasing maximum borrowing power to get into the home ownership, auto, or education race.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been saving and avoiding debt for my whole working life and got to say I feel lot poorer than those who haven&#039;t saved squat and have everything. </p><p><br /></p><p>I sit idly by and watch home prices go higher, new trucks $13,000 higher than the last time I bought one in &#039;07, cost of an MBA a laughable investment etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
