Me too thanks.

I guess I'm gonna have to pay off as much as I can before the renewal hits.

It was sort of obvious it was too good to last though. When it made sense to pay off your mortgage as slowly as possible because you expected better returns investing that money it means that something is probably wrong.

I think the last 10 years has been too good to last, at least when it came to interest rates.

What I don't think a lot are anticipating, is this is going to release a torrent wave of shit in about a year or twos time. Imagine all those Vancouver/Toronto folks having to renew at like 6 or 7%. It's going to wipe a lot of people out. Even the pandemic buyers are probably only a couple years out from their renewals. Hopefully some panic selling takes place to cool off a lot of the markets they pumped up.
