Pass book saving account were at around 5% back then. No IRA's NO 401K's as we know it today,back then. No on line trading back then. <g>. Paul Volker in charge of the FED. Know one thought mortgage rates would ever get below double digits back then. Looking back he did a great job.IMO. Tax reform also.

IMO- Now most people only save in IRA's & 401k's. IMO-Most don't save in checking interest bearing account and savings accounts. Many because they can't if their living paycheck to paycheck. I personally only look at the current interest to pay for fee's that might be imposed for their use.
