The cost of living seems to be increasing every year, making it harder to keep up.
Indeed, it's becoming quite challenging to manage expenses.
I've actually managed to stay ahead of the curve. I'm even contemplating early retirement.
@@EricaWaters-lr6zw Impressive! How did you achieve that?
@@WhitneyRoss-dj4rf Our family got introduced to a financial consultant”RPC WEALTH.” about four years before my dad retired. That was what changed things, and I think my retirement income will be on the right track, luxury cars and trips
Absolutely, RPC WEALTH. has a knack for analyzing market trends and helping clients make informed decisions.
Lesson here is - pay off your mortgage as soon as you can, even if your rates are low, especially if you’re on a variable rate.
Wow great advice mate
Mortgage rates are currently at an all time high since 2000(24 years) and based on statistics on inflation, we might see that number skyrocket further, a 30-year fixed rate was only 5% this time last year, so do I just keep waiting for a housing crash before buying or redirect my focus to the equity market
The stock market is no different, to maintain profit, you need to have some in-depth knowledge on the market
True, I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
in my opinion, it was much easier investing back in the 60s but it’s a lot trickier now, those making consistent profit in these times are professionals reason I’ve been using an advisor for the past 5 years to consistently build my portfolio in preparations for retirement.
my partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five aiyears now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank God we never listened to these "experts" about borrowing money, oh you have equity? take a heloc, renovate your home, or buy a rental, rates are low. LOL We've decided to just pay off our mortgage and we did it before we turned 40. Now we can save more money and pay cash for everything, even renos.
Same here! It’s almost as if any sort of borrowing comes with an inherent risk that the future might not turn out as planned.
Same story here, since turning 40 with paid off house. Well done mate, it’s called basic financial management.
The same here. Paid off my mortgage 2 months ago at the age of 41

What I think everyone need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit..
Have been in need of an Adviser for long now..
It alright Angela Lynn Schilling look up on that and thank me latter..!!
Thanks... This Was Helpful!!... I found her page..
The market seems kinda overpriced considering the interest rates and how we're going into a recession. I think it's perfectly reasonable for 20% of your savings to be in money market and collecting about 5%. The other 80%, you should talk to a financial planner. Even being 100% in money market right now wouldn't be the worst thing ever. Oh god no, not a 5% risk free rate! The horror!
All I see here is people not taking responsibility for their financial choices. "The bank told me this", "Tiff said that". People are over-leveraged, period. It feels like this is only the tip of the iceberg in what could be a troublesome couple of decades for Canadians.
@@codechartreuseThat’s true, but they had no risk tolerance and chose a variable rate. I was paying 2.9% fixed while other people were paying 1.5% variable. Now I’m paying 2.9 fixed while other folks are paying 5.5%. “Variable is the way to go” is always gambling. On the other hand, who can predict a 400% increase. Ridiculous.
Tiff is the BOC chairman he should have been responsible not to say that.

When this rediculous governement started spending trillions - that's when haha. No sympathy for variable raters - even though it's gonna eventually be ALL our problems to bail out and fix...
@@TRANSPORTCANADAGURUthe government didn’t spend trillions. The bulk of inflation comes from private debt.
A lot of people bought beyond their means during COVID and they opted for the variable rate for the lower payment. No one opted for the variable rate at .99% and made payments as if the rate was 3.99% or 4.99%. No one put down extra capital - NO ONE.
Today, most of, if not all of them are feeling the crunch.
Human nature...😢
Well there was that one guy. He’s such a legend.
LMAO
Trust no one, listen to everyone
Many people overbid to buy these over inflated tiny homes .take responsibility instead of blaming someone else
Here is a smart man!

@@rochester3 And continue living under the overpass.
@@jimmason8502 I’ll continue renting while you live in a ditch✌🏾
I'm the 80s mortgage rates were as high as 21%. 5% is pretty normal really
I remember it. Lots of people who had to renew near 20% where forced to sell. Many for sale signs in front of many homes.
But that was the US where your rates can be fixed and you can always refinance to a lower rate The UK and the rest of the Commonwealth countries have adjustable rate mortgages That's why they have increases in payments they don't have a fixed rate like we do
Yes they were 21% but the price of homes were nothing compared to now
Ya, but the houses only cost $75,000. Now an average house is around $750,000 and your wages have not increased by 10 times.
Yeah but house cost peanuts compared to your salary.
The more I look at homes and both the upfront costs and the costs over time and it becomes clear that owning a home is a trap. The institutions have you where they want you. You end up with no liquidity and an asset that is much more akin to a liability. I could buy a house tomorrow but financially it just doesn't make sense.
Perhaps consider buying one with a mother in law type suite that has a separate entrance so it can be rented?
@lalagardenia6500 I've considered that. If you find a great tenant, it's perfect. Find an awful tenant, and it's hell.
The writing's been on the wall for at least 10 years...
If people are in such dire straights, sell your million dollar McMansion and rent.
They might be underwater if they did that. The first 5 years of a mortgage is practically all interest.
@@jonathanandrew2909 House prices went up drastically in the last 5 years. If they don't have equity they speculated and overpaid.

Life is not the same for everyone.
They gave everything to their kids….thats how. Have some respect for elders.
Many people are dumb , I know people in their mid 50s buying 800k home with 5% down. They either expect their kids to pay for their mortgage or will be working until 70-80 yrs old.
"don't know what to do", he knows what needs to be done. Sell the bungalow and move into a condo. They just don't want to.
Greed
It's not the interest rate that's the issue; it's the housing prices. Twenty years ago, people could afford a decent house despite high interest rates, but now, it's a nightmare as housing prices have skyrocketed five to tenfold over a period of 15 to 20 years. As a middle-class individual, I'm working hard, but I don't think I can afford a house simply by working.
The interest rates weren’t high 20 years ago. Yes, they were higher than today, but they were on the decline overall compared to 20 years prior.
@@DB-bw5fz 1998 interest rate was around 5 % but housing price was low comparing to today and people can afford it . If you want to compare apple to apple. And at 1990, interest rate was 13% up, people was able to afford for a house since a semi-detached was around 270k and now it is 1.5 mils around my area .
@@animeloverfan18 You’re missing the point. Mortgage rates in 1998 were in the range of 7%, but that was down from around 10% at the beginning of the 90s, which was down again from the nearly 20% interest rates in the early 80s.
That 7% interest wasn’t seen as high…it was seen as finally being back to normal. It’s the subsequent 20 years of constant rate declines, coupled with pandemic era stimulus and the ability to work remotely anywhere in the country that drove a lot of demand and has led to prices becoming far too high in the first place.
20 years ago the interest rates were higher than today still...
To afford a house, for 3 years, I worked a full time job plus 2 part time jobs, I averaged less than 4 hours sleep per night that entire time. I sacrificed any extras, personal time , health, sanity that is what it takes.
The writing is on the wall. Mortgage renewals here we come ! boc didn’t do thier job and kept interest rates too low for too long
The people on TV need to be asking the question "Why did Tiff and Trudea both in tandem say rates were staying low when they both knew they wouldn't be?" This is the most important and troubling question.
Because the WEF ultimate goal is a population on walfare...
The BoC rates and Tiff have to closely be aligned with US Federal Reserve (otherwise CAD will go to shit). BoC likely thought Powell would not raise rates as much but he did. Hence even Canadian rates had to go higher and stay higher for longer.
No one thought rates were going to go up, not a single human knew that, stop pretendin you're God.
@@prao4603 It was still irresponsible of him to say rates will stay low when he knew there was a possibility of them going up.
@@nocucksinkekistan7321 You can't be serious...
Why would this guy recommend that old couple to sell their home and THEN GO RENT? Has he not seen how expensive rents are these days, and landlords are so awful about it these days? I would NEVER EVER SELL my home and then be at the mercy of some landlord. So that's some crazy recommendation.
you rather get foreclosed and kicked out and homeless? At 85 find a place in a Govt. Nursing home and spend the rest of your Money
@@berry1669 it's harder than EVER to find a bed in govt retirement housing. Folks are now getting thrown out of those housing all over this country. I would stay in my own home, and rent out rooms to single females or students needing a place to stay. In today's Canada I would never advise an older person to sell. Renting is simply too horrible to deal with at this time.
You don't understand economics.
@@nocucksinkekistan7321 I don't have to know or "understand economics" to know it would be a crazy thing selling that house. And then to be at the mercy of an annoying and corrupt landlord. No, thanks,
Renting is cheaper than home ownership now. And this will likely be the case for the foreseeable future.
im in the same boat as Saeid. My propblem is I didn't change my monthly payments with the increase and my original payment did not cover the interest rates. I am close to the original loan as the remaining amount of interest rates went back into my mortgage.
You’d expect a flood of homes to be on the market at this point as more people renew. Instead they are re-amortizing for 70+ years and paying only interest to keep the payments as manageable as possible
The crunch is happening but slowly. Still many people haven't needed to re-finance. The rates only started going up two years ago and many were in 3-5 year fixed terms.
Fixed payment variable rate mortgages are the reason why we haven’t seen the flood of homes you’re expecting to see. That will come in 2025 and 2026 when the fixed payment variable rate mortgages come due for renewal. Of course that’s all dependent on whether interest rates stay where they are.
canada isn't about financial literacy and responsibility, its about can you afford the payments and work to ay the bank 80% of your income for 30 years.
@@shaq9361 yup
Rent is super expensive and rentals hard to come by. Selling a house to start rent seems riskier than staying put and pinching pennies.
pennies?
Harper cancelled them because he said they cost too much to make, which said our money is under valued to me.
Bad enough people can earn tenths of a cent in the stock market without a physical tenth of a cent in the real world, now there isn't even a cent in the real world.
I will never stop calling for the return of the penny.
costs 1.03 cents to make one.
K, does it cost $1 to make a loonie?
$2 to make a toonie?
Why did those nearly 30 000 counterfeit toonies come in from China at $0.58 ea. then?
Hard to pinch pennies if they do not exist.
Axing the penny cost me $10 - $25 in saving a year, which might not seem like much, but when I tell you the maximum I can save in a month is $140, if no emergencies arise, and the average is $15-$20, when I account for those emergencies, you might think more.
What nonsense is that lol..every big city has apartment towers with 300-500 units..dozens become available every month..you go down and bragain. You don't sit online browising new condo listings from single-unit owners.
I was lucky. I bought in 2020 apr. I paid 2000 a month. And 20% went to paying the principal. Now the payment has doubled. And the percentage going to pay to principal is dismal. At least the home has gone up a lot in value.
I have a question: when BoC raise interest rates, where does the extra money from mortgage payments end up? Who benefits?
I don't think it's not the lender because if it was, then we should see super record profits in the banking sector.
Lol the bank of Canada / govt treasury bc they lend the money to the banks
The sole reason why these fools cannot pay the mortgage is the greed and speculation. If they took lower loan to ensure they could handle it, they wouldn't have a problem now. Sick of these fools.
Why would you get a variable rate when it is at 2% more risk of it going up then not he could of locked it in for 5yrs at that point for 2.5% and been fine
I'm 67 my first mortgage was I believe 17% Later I had 9% and 7% only on my fourth mortgage did I have something in the range of 5-6%.
But I get it if you became accustomed to one or two or 3% interest and you mortgaged yourself to the max If you're in a position to be paying down your mortgage great.
What was the average home price when you first purchased a home? What was your income vs home price? I hear the same things from every 70 year old. "I had 17% when I bought my first home!". Yeah, well you forgot to mention that you bought a home for 120k and you were making 45k a year, in which you paid less taxes on, groceries prices were cheaper, etc.

Of course he does. He just took out a reverse mortgage for $250K.
Just get a second job like me. Work your life away to pay the renewed mortgage at sky high rates. We need 15 and 30 year terms.
For our first home in the 80s we had a second mortgage from a private lender, the builder. I was never so glad to get that paid off. But it did allow us to start a family and we had equity after that.
Find family members who can move in and pay some rent to help with the seniors.
Mine doubled only and tenants say. I can't raise rent more than 2.5%.

Variable rate mortgages are extremely risky - buyer beware.
Not really. Most have fixed monthly payments. Short term mortgages are riskier when stretching yourself thin in a low interest rate environment.
@@jbmop fixed rate isn't that much better anyway because of our 5 year term as opposed to the 30 year in the US
the bank would only give us a variable. it was a forced trap.
The US has fixed 30 year mortgages, if rates go up your payments are the same for 30 year. If rates go down you can refinance at a lower rate. Also mortgages there are non-recourse loans. Canadians get the worst case scenario. The more you know, the worse it is.
It's amazing to me that everyone who quotes the infamous "lower interest rates for longer" statement from BoC has never actually watched that 45 minute press conference. Tiff was referring specifically to the next several quarters and that took place in 2020. In the time since then, all throughout 2021, 2022 the bank of canada was repeatedly warning people not to over leverage. The Bank of Canada is a convenient scapegoat for mortgage investors who gambled and lost.
Did Robert make minimum payments on his open loan for 9 years?
My fixed mortgage rate was 7.95% in 1994. Prior to that in 1979 it was about 6.5% with an assumption of a mortgage with 3 1/2 years left. Soon after the mortgage rate went up to almost 19%. I can still remember so many people in Calgary either walked away from homes or sold them to real estate companies for $1. People who currently have variable mortgages should have known the risks they were taking. There are winners and losers who chose to play this variable rates game.
Thats crazy!
Now this will be reflecting in weaker gdp due to more money spent on interest payments instead of going into the real "productive" economy. This will then result in lower interest rates that will crash our dollar and send inflation higher. Either way this country is screwed.
I like this guy
That title is the future I saw when the landlord asked me to move out for $5 000 4 years ago.
I said, "no, $25 000 would be enough though".
Could've put a down payment on a mobile home and they could've doubled the rent for this unit, like they did the other 6.
never ever ever every get a variable rate mortgage ever ever ever especially on the LIBOR index..ever....they tell you don't worry they will refi you...BS..just do not.
Agreed, I've never done variable. But in the past decade (prior to the recent increase) it was better to do as variable rates were at their lowest.
I love how cruelly judgemental folk are here in the comment section of these types of videos. Everyone thinks they know better about a complete strangers circumstances and they always have some highly simplistic miraculous solution!! It's like they've done everything perfect in their lives and they cowardly get on here behind their screen and type nasty remarks...oh what a world this has become....
Home owners can always get a third job if their mortgage is this high. What do they expect anyone to do? Tax other people to help them with their mortgage? Have these people ever thought of getting a better job or a second job? Complaining or taxing other people doesn't get anyone anywhere.
100%.,homes are costly today because these more ons overbid and with no conditions
None of the home owner in the video talking about taxing other to help them. Homeowners are actually the one being taxed to help others like roads etc in the city. They all just asking for advice. Some are even at old age. Simple way to solve it is to sell something you can't afford anymore. Owning a home is nice, but not a must. Owning a home is getting more and more expensive. Higher property tax to help the city, higher insurance, mortgage is just part of it.
@@cinpeace353 Who are the home owners helping by being taxed?
@@JessT-vg7ib Part of city funding are from property tax.

Wonder what the rates will be in 2027?
The same because I have a GIC due July that year so rates have to fall a lot.
Important message #1: Don't take a variable rate mortgage unless you can afford the rate change. Message #2: act your wage. Message #3: always pay off your credit card balance.
here in the same boat
Abolishes the realtor industry. There are too many unscrupulous ones who have been pushing prices up to earn more commissions. There are the only winners in the property equation. No capital is required and no risk at all. They created a bidding process ....data showing the latest selling price .....
Listen to this guy. He knows
I’m mortgage free in 2023 15 years of biweekly , stayed on variable at the start went from 7.5% all the way to -0.75 then eventually closed out last term was 2.75% , damn good luck on those 9-18% you missed the low rates, now expect decades of higher rates
Taking a variable rate when interest rates are 3% is insanity.....
The current government has already presented a solution to the old Canadians and it's called medical assistance in death (MAID). Starting in March 2027, Canada plans to make medical assistance in death (MAID) available to people with mental illness (I wonder if depression consider a type of mental illness), expanding a program that was already accessible to patients with terminal or chronic physical illness.
I damn damn damn agree.
By the time you're a senior your mortgage should be paid for
What the average family takes in 5000 monthly and the mortgage is 3500 that doesn't leave much to spend in the economy or save for retirement. Canada brought in newcomers and made them spend their life savings to come to Canada trapping them in poverty. This is wrong
lol immigrants were mostly escaping extreme poverty/wars..stop projecting..they are all very happy here save for the few loses on youtube who show up whining.
I think it’s a lesson for some who treat their house like an ATM.
I had to google what a mortgage renewal is to understand what was happening lol
Australia and the UK have adjustable rate mortgages as well every 2 to 5 years It's never a 30-year fixed like the US
30 year fixed rate is the best. if you can get it do it.
Did u not learnbin economics 101 about subprime mortgage
Sucks for people who fell for the trap and bought beyond their means. Maybe started a family and now the shit hit the fan. I personally dont see any growth in the market for a decade. Hope everyone is ready to ride this out as the BOC is trying to cash in on baby boomers wealth transfer

Canada should drop the rates on mortgages not other consumer debt. You need a house to live in but you can cut down on other consumption.
In 1985 my mortgage was at 13 percent
Wait is it not common in Canada to have fixed rates? The US market crashed partially because of ARMs. Canada is asking for a collapse. You need to learn from the failure of others and yourselves to not make the same mistake.
This guy is an expert. God help us all
When you renew you *don't* have to re-qaulify.

Why is that second guy mortgaging a home while living on a pension?
At this present moment 4th may 2024 there are so much Canadians in denial
The talk here is nonsense. The bank WILL certainly seek to renew the mortgage as the bank has no choice. If they let the mortgage default then they are stuck with a house the sale of which won’t cover the loan. The bank is screwed. The guy is screwed too, but wait till rates go up another 1.5% …wow it’s going to blow up!
If the bank is "stuck" with the house, they should be able to sell the home to cover most, if not all of the loan. That's why they don't loan on 100% of the home value.
@@aman888 Explain to me the term “short sale”…
@@aaronsullivan1628 Yes, but you're assuming the value of the house is below the mortgage amount. Why are you jumping straight to that conclusion?
@@aman888 Experience. I started studying economics in 1979. I lived through Volkler. And I know and understand the numbers now. When the housing market turns hard, and it will… the number of underwater mortgages will soar. The subprime iceberg is hiding its true mass just under the surface.
Sure it will cover the loan. That's why they want a down payment - to provide that buffer. If the down payment was small then the mortgage is insured.
Banks = NO Refuse.

Canada is weird. So they don't do fixed rate mortgages?? You have to "renew"......Basically "ARM"??!!

These people who are now lamenting their situations thought they would be "smart" and "savvy" by opting to take variables. They somehow decided to adopt a mindset of positioning for an even lower interest rate when their variable term ended, rather than taking a fixed long term mortgage and therefore positioning for the risk that mortgage rates would start going up.
what a scam rent and put your money in the bank stop the madness of the big mortgages
Glad see a guy with same eyebrow
To buy a house is far too expensive....lower the price....REALLY lower the price and housing will be affordable once again.🏡

big bank takes little bank, most canadians sold on "i can afford the payments so i can afford it" lie and now they're facing reality.
What a novelty! "Do your own stress test"!, 🤦♂️ almost like making people accountable for over- leveraging them selves!! I've been wanting to buy a home for 8+ years and thought the market was over inflated in 2015, I make a good income 100k + a year, have a plenty of a downpayment but still not willing to buy because noone should be putting 40+ percent of their income into their dwelling!! And did you really think that intrest rates would not go up!?!? Never in Canadian historyhave they been below 2% ..people need to start taking accountability!! If your not responsible enough to look to the future and recognize what you CAN REALLY AFFORD, it's your own doing.
Interest rate aren't even high, they are just in the low range of normal. The problem is that the banks were far too willing to lend you more money when rates where low, and too many people foolishly took them up on that. If you were maxed on on monthly payments when the rates were at historical lows then you've set yourself up for failure.
30 year mortgages are terrible. Try to go for a 15 or pay off your 30 year in 15.
"I remember the BoC saying they wouldn't raise rates." I bet you were first in line too, when they said the j@b was safe.
"You don't want to toast your retirement to help your child." Spoken like a true Liberal.
I am on mortagage 2 percent interest now , in 2 yrs I am renewing , how should I manage , currently I am having 900k and paying 4K monthly . I am really worried how can I manage and how much I need to pay when I renew in 2 yrs .
