Interest rates going up can be good or bad. What are some of the good and bad reasons?

If the interest rates go up then it takes longer to pay off a loan. If you have a savings account, you can earn more interest. Any others that we should know about?

1. If you own corporate bonds and the market interest rate falls, the price of your bond would rise and vice versa. There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates observed by the market.For example, if you purchase a bond with an interest rate of 10% and later, the market interest rates fall to say 5%, your bond price would rise.
