Similarly, with complaints about today's mortgage rates: Today they are around 7.5%. My first one in 1985 was over 12%. Four years before that it was as high as 18%!

People think inflation is so bad these days. How we forget.

CC5 in 1982 90 day treasury gets 11.65%. 2 year 13.7%. Source Chronicle archive ad from CC5.Jan 1982.

I also remember getting 5 1/4% on my passbook bank account.
