Yes, of course don’t be complacent with investments, that’s the route to the poor house. Ive tried to sell a property recently to a retired lady who needed a equity release mortgage.
Summing up it didn’t happen due to the high interest rates, and of course compound interest. What this process told me is that maybe some individual or organisation, of course working on behalf of the consumer might want to ‘challenge’ this behaviour by the lenders, so it’s more “consumer friendly”, in their eyes.
I’m a share holder, but these high interest rate products and of course public sector pensions, overpaying for the services received to facilitate the pensions, is something to be noted, and it’s a naive investor to not be aware.
Nothing is a home run anymore, personally I’m seeing opportunities in U.K. oil and gas.
Good Luck.
