420 – Rising Rates, Callable Debts, Tighter Credit & What They Mean For You

We've now had our fifth interest rate hike in 2022 alone. Mortgages are costing more to service. And so are callable debts – which are debts that can have their repayment terms changed whenever at the lender's discretion. On today's podcast guest Scott Terrio returns to discuss how rising rates are putting more homeowners at risk of serious debt issues and even insolvency, especially as credit tightens. Scott also explains what callable debts are, how they work, and the dangers of carrying high balances on them when rates are rising. Scott and Doug also share lots of practical advice to help you spot when your own finances may be at risk. Tune in for a great discussion!
