I may well use part or all of it, but then I clear my card every month.

I just like the free insurance...

Hoping it doesn't go up just yet, about to remortgage but likely to have at least one month on the SVR before the new mortgae kicks in.

We've managed to knock 7 years off this time, we are fortunate to have a good LTV ratio so were able to get one of the better rates available

Debt is a great investment at the moment, providing you pick the right things to spend it on

Got to admit the drop all those years ago was a godsend. Mortgage rate dropped to less than 1% allowing us to knock 10 years off the mortgage.

it will probably only go up to 0.5% next week to start the rises.... can't go up too quickly or it will just shock the entire system....

You've never had it so good! I remember rates of 15% - that's when it really hurt. Fortunately it probably won't ever go back to those rates but a 0.25% only puts us back in the same place as we were pre referendum. At the worst 0.5% but hey we just guessing. Time will tell.

The average house price when it was 15% was about 50k.

Now it's 202k.

If it goes past 4% it will kill alot of homeowners

Does anyone understand what interest rates are and their relationship to bonds?

Or does anyone understand what a yield curve is?

Or how interest rates effect the national debt?

.

Yeah, I'm reasonably educated on it!.

That only applied in the old days of ACTUALLY selling your bond though instead of just passing out between central banks .

Bonds were payers and shares were speculative.

Now shares are payers and bonds are speculative, it's a topsy turvy world
