Depends.....
I feel that your typical person who has cash to spend then I might agree. However, the typical American who borrows money for for purchases are looking at monthly payments (interest driven) not the price. This is evidenced by people who bought larger homes than they would normally have because they could afford the payment at a low interest rate such as 3%. (i.e. could have bought a home for $300K but went for the $400K+ home because they could afford the payment at low interest rate). The one thing that always annoyed me when looking at car at a dealer the first questions they would ask is "how much do you want to spend per month?". Welp sir, I don't want to spend a GD penny, I want you to give me that car. But I acknowledge the question was geared towards people who were looking at monthly payment....damn the price of the car...I don't need to know the price....just tell me the payment. Us Americans are sad spectacles when it comes to finances.

You just made my argument.
When I say “price” I mean and agree exactly with what you said. Most only care about monthly payment.
The problem with the argument that interest rates are the deciding factor doesn’t add up when you go back to the 80’s when my parents were paying 12+%, OR the boom before 2009 when nobody was bitching about 6% (including me)
They cared about the payment not the 12%
We refinanced from 6 to 3.25 and cut our 2007 note to 15 years and saved a bundle.
But none of that was the deciding factor in 2007 on purchase. Price was.
We were approved for $500k but we said $2000 p/mo is our limit. We bought a $300k house.
The interest could have been 1% or 20%, it didn’t matter.
By the way historically the Fed rate has little to do with mortgage rate. It follows the 10yr bond yield
This should work out well for those who can't even make change from a $20 let alone manage their own finances and find themselves at age 60 with $10K in the bank, a big mortgage, a new $700 /mo car and complain it must be someone else's fault they can't retire...
The younger know it all generation will say, Yay! If I can invest my own retirement I’ll come out so much further ahead.
Then they won’t , and we’ll be facing a bigger problem in 20 years.
