Amy,re:"assumption..interest". That's a wrong assumption.

Reasons:

> we cannot afford it:

If you borrow money, you want to pay the least in
interest. The FED needs to borrow money (with the
advantage of able to print some).

> the FED is favoring a particular group of people.
(they always do, remember the LongTermCapital crap...,
they always bail out someone).
Low interest rate seems to help a group of people.

> No inflation, no wage pressure, no nothing.

> Interest-rate relationship with RE is about to run it's
course. Good paying jobs is the next issue.

> high-end market, those are not for the average wage
earner. But they do have a BAD influence on other
people's living. This is a have vs haven't issue and has
nothing to do with interest-rate. These house has no
standard prices, it's a matter of the affluent's extra
cash.

> most things in life has cycle ... be patient ... there are
choices ... don't hang out with the wrong crowd ... don't
be confused by the smoke-and-screen of the rich and
famous ... don't get the drug habit ... life is easier
that way.

> RICH people have RICH problem.
