I am 75, and remember getting one of the last 30 year mortgages written in Maryland in 1983 at 8.5%.

I don't see us in a high interest rate environment anytime soon.

It is all relative. 3% looks high when we are at 1.4%.

We have all gotten used to endlessly falling interest rates. Our ideas and expectations are based on money being cheaper and cheaper forever. And the Fed guaranteeing all asset classes.

A concept I do not understand is negative interest rates. I mean, I can do the math, but I do not understand how it can exist.
