I have said this for years High interest mortgage is the time to buy. I am appalled by realtors who tell young people to buy before the house is out of reach in a run away market with low interest.

This sets them up or capital loss and good chance of payment failure down the road. Proof you can make payment in high interest times is future protection.

In Canada we dont have 30 year fixed mortgages 5 year max then you pay the going rate

Transfering todays debt to future people is brilliant. It should not be to our childern or grandchilder though as this still has some personal attachment. We need to write the debt out 500 years. This way inflation will compact even 10 trillion to the value of a pack of gum in 2510 dollars. Not only will no one be mad in our lifetimes but no one will care 500 years from now when a gallon of gas is 700,000 trillion dollars

The doctor has shown up and relieved the patient's symptoms – and transformed the tumor into a metastatic tumor. We still have the same disease.

Simply moving to CAD does not really get you anywere because CAD is given as a % of USD so even if CAD goes to par ( one to one with the USD ) you are still tied to the falling USD.

If you buy CAD at par ( as an American ) you are going to lose money because as a commodity based economy relitive high value CAD kills our economy.

The normal relationship ( the workable one ) puts the division USD value 78 to CAD 94 at mid 70s eg 94% of 78 = 74

In the past USD was at 115 and CAD was 62 or 62% 0f 115 is again 72

Every time the mid 70 relationship is where Canada can function

Other countries have their own workable value

Trying to escape to other currencies without knowing this is dangerous

Milk still cost 1/20 th of an hour, oz of gold still 29 hours

Stick a postit note on all your dollars ( dont write on money ) stating when you earned it see if you still have any next year.

We inflate our wage with inflation, a fact gold bugs dont like to talk about
