Got three friends using different UK banks for savings accounts, getting 5-7% interest rates.

Yield is coming from interest rates on debt.

Heard of people's mortgages rising by crazy numbers e.g. Β£800 per month.

As I said in 2022, even if you're on a fixed rate, you're still probably fucked if they don't lower rates because in the UK they're mostly fixed for a short term.

Something is going to give.

Why would it rise? Isn’t it fixed?

Why would you sign a contract that would end your low interest rate of .1% or 1%?

Well, I wouldn't. But I guess because the alternative doesn't even give you a term so you think you're taking the smart option. A lot of people are on variable rate!
