Those who want to live happy in future, avoid taking loan and be a victim of usury

[@sheshadriv32]

Everyone at some point in their life will have to get a loan for securing necessities for life such as house and a car(more in western settings). You can never be a victim when it comes to loans, you're either a sensible person who's buying a necessary stuff or an idiot buying unnecessary stuff. Banks just facilitate the way to become one of those. Of course, either way they make profit out of you. But that's not victimization, it's just how the world works.

Business has just started recovering from pendamic and now the bank is raising the interest rate, it will make things worse. The government should lower the interest rate to boost up the recovery.

So when are we going to seen a decent rate for saving account?

[@gauravparmar5664]

You can't have it both ways. The Federal Reserve (and Congress and both the current and previous President) created this problem. Primarily the Federal Reserve contributed to the current issue of inflation by continual printing at astronomical levels. The Trump administration added $6.8 Trillion to the deficit. The current administration has already added another $3 Trillion and counting. The Fed thinks raising interest rates will stop inflation. However, I find it unfortunate that the same entity that caused the inflation wants to somehow eliminate the issue that it caused due to printing money and making our currency fiat.

Don't blame it on China the FED overreacted by raising the interest rates 2 steps at a time. This was not a pure demand inflation this was a supply crunch inflation. So when supply problem lift prices go down.

[@pmckernan100]

There are a lot of factors, one is that the FED keeps talking about keeping them going up and up, and there really is no stopping this at the moment. Just the FED talking about rates going up is having a change on the rates. There are many different things that have changed them since January, and we do not see a slowdown.

[@AznCracker13]

I just checked the CD rates for major banks and they are still like 0.05% (chase). Basically you lose money getting a CD right now If you actually want a CD I'd consider non-traditional banks like Discover which will give you 2.5% interest, which is still not good but better than basically zero. These are all FDIC-insured. If you have 10k you don't need right now I would buy the Series 1 Treasury bonds, it pays 9% interest right now for 6 months.

[@Sunilrai42]

Good information

[@Fellowtellurian]

We have a problem when the economic system is dependent on people staying poor. The government gives out a $1400 check once a year and that "influx of wealth" has toppled the economy. Let's be real, low interest rates, corporate borrowing and artificial price inflation from commodities lead to this, not a $1400 check during a pandemic. How about instead of raising interest rates, we pull some of that money out of the economy though higher taxes on rich? You know, those same ones that are buying up all the housing in rural America and forcing people into a rental economy? You know, those same rich people that don't want to buy bonds off the government because their stocks remaking more money and they assume the government will cover the associated risks with another bail out? Just tax the rich, it will decrease inflation, it will keep people in houses, it will pay for basic social services a modern society needs.

[@jon6309]

I work in a bank’s wealth management division. LOL so a bank charges interests to compensate for inflation? Lending money actually contributes to inflation! Think about it, when borrowing money that’s not yours to spend becomes accessible it leads to inflation! Home prices is a good example, when mortgage rates are low people can afford to borrow money that’s not theirs to purchase a home! This leads to a supply demand issue for homes causing home prices to skyrocket!

Wait, if I get a car and inflation makes that loan worth less but it has already been used to purchase a car, I a better off because that car is easier to pay off as the economy raises wages to keep up with inflation. That 20k felt like 20k before inflation but now it feels like 15k. That's great!

[@AnonymousUser-tp6ij]

Depends on if your wage goes up with inflation, if not then inflation is bad. That car will be more expensive if inflation is 3% and your wages increase by 2%.

Too much too fast is causing big problems with a country recovering from COVID shut downs. In my opinion I would rather deal with prosperity and some inflation than with recession, lower wages and no jobs. The largest impact that we deal with today are high costs of housing and gas prices. The bold moves of the fed are just going to over-steer the economy!
