Older millennials, adults aged 35 to 44, had debt-to-disposable income ratios around 250 per cent in 2019, while Freestone noted that metric was roughly 150 per cent for the same age group in 1999.

Can confirm we're sitting around 250% but this is after exercising significant restraint to not take on as much mortgage as the banks would have given us. Everyone I know who bought over the last couple of years went all out and I can't imagine them being any lower than 300-350%.

They did this trick in america in 2000s, Canada mostly avoided that fuxkenin

Looks like they are gonna get y'all now.

Buying into a bubble doesn't make people a victim. Risk was taken and those who were not properly prepared will be fucked.

This is a classic FAFO situation.

With that being said, yeah, big picture all working people getting fucked.
