Hi,
Scaredy-cat, coward! :-)
Sure, interest rates will rise, but they probably won't go above 4-5%.
And if you have a civil servant salary included, quite a bit of the risk is already taken out.
Tip: make yourselves a simple Excel sheet with the loan amount, the monthly payment, and different interest rates. It becomes very quickly very clear how big the difference is, for example, with a 200,000 Euro loan after paying off for 10 years at different interest rates. And then you can nicely play "what if..."
Best regards,
Andreas
Interest rates could easily be at 8% or higher in 10 or 15 years. They can hardly get any lower... We're somehow a bit scared :-/
