Do you believe you have a constitutional right to get a safe return that beats inflation? >>> Yes yes i do. It says it right in there. Along with i can spend as much as i want and never have to worry cuz i can declare bankruptcy.......and to expect 20% returns in the market every year....thanks The point of the message is I dont believe falling interest rates are good for everyone. If I cant get a real return on a safe investment (CD)that beats inflation (whatever that questionable number may be) then i need to seek more riskier investment just to keep up. For retirees on fixed incomes I would think it would be more painful) I dont care if cc rates are 10 or 20% cuz i never carry a balance. And mortgage rates have not gone down. Companies certainly havent increased hiring. (although i guess it takes time....but then again if they thought things would pick up soon would they be laying off so much?) So for me the falling rates have not been helpful Curious, has it helped you?
