    Wah wah wah. Yeah it sucks for some people that need to buy right now. I’m in the process of it and the first few years are gonna suck because of the interest. No reason to cry about someone else getting in earlier with a lower rate.

    Rates go up and down. When they do, people that bought at high rates refinance down to a lower rate.

      Dude, I have no idea what gave you the impression that I was confused about any of what you just said.

      The commenter above me struggled to understand the article and thought that the author was trying to convince individuals to abandon their existing mortgages or to stop refinancing them when lower rates justify the cost of doing so.
