Simple matter of fact is you should know what your interest rate is when you are going to get your loan and what your repayment will be so you have to ask yourself I earn $X, my payment is $Y that will leave me with $Z dollars to pay everything else - am I comfortable with that? Yes or No, will I be able to afford things if interest rates go up? Really is simple but so many incompetents out there willing to blame the system/others - the ultimate blame regardless is on the borrower in this case.

So you would blame the American public for starting the GFC and not the regulators, the institutions and the banks?
It is always the people with better knowledge and power who has to take the blame simply because they know what they are doing...
