Why did we go through a economic recession of the 90s? The recession we had to have off the back of high interest rates, things were starting to to come down and become more affordable.

Like I said, my home loan rate was 17% in November of 87.
21:59
Wall Street crashed around that time as well, which created a bit of a confidence issue.
22:03
Government expenditure was high.
22:07
Capital gains were starting to come into play.

5:37

5:38
I mean, if you can't afford to buy a $1.4 million house on, you know, a 50,000 deposit, you're not gonna be able to buy a $950,000 house on a 50,000 deposit.
5:49
Just ain't gonna happen.
