Something smells in balata!!!

http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/24/real_estate/details_on_new_Countrywide_plan/index.htm?postversion=2007102510

What the heck!!! We knew it was coming. The real question is why are we sucumbing to the needs of individuls that are now getting bailed out for making poor financial decisions.

I would really like to know, why are we now providing ARM interest rate locks on teaser loans, because the poor fools or the once thought savy real estate investors now have to take it in the shorts.

Oh poor me boo who... Who's going to bail me out now. I made a risky investment and got caught with my pants down. Oh please help me and bail me out!!!

So why can't I just walk into the bank and re-negotiate my loan. Why can't I just say oh poor me I just didn't understand and I am about to lose my home.. So please mister banker please adjust my home loan and make it affordable for me.

The problem with that is.... I did know better!!! I take accountability for the loan documents I signed with my name!!! I did not put all life and limb out on the edge of a willow tree branch hoping it wouldn't break or 'bust'.

Let's stop making excuses as a whole. Let's started holding people accountable. Oh wait that would mean we might actually have to start really impeaching presidents.

What a sad state of affairs.

So why should I continue on paying more every freaking day for my home financing, than the sobbing poor shmuck about to pay 11.0 % on a freaking home loan? Because I chose to take a safer route?? Why should that idiot be able to skate free on a teaser loan rate and keep it.

Something stinks here,, and it ain't right.

What's in store for us, only the one knows.

Hopefully the wind will shift directions and I won't have to smell this stench anymore.

But alas probably wishfull thinking.

Earmarks have been allocated from that 700 billion to go right to it. NICE.

More facts and figures: Money in your 40s

I always wondered about reports and statistics. This article was published : Published March 26, 2007 and the sources of the table of stats: Source: Federal Reserve's 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances *Life expectancy from National Center for Health Statistics, 2006 **U.S. Census Bureau, 2004 (ages 35-44) http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/RetirementandWills/CreateaPlan/MoneyInYour40sItsMakeOrBreak.aspx Irrelevant of that fact it is very interesting as far as numbers go. Scary thought,,,,,, and people want to place social security retirement account planning in the hands of individual american people. Interesting...... Very interesting.

40 years old and retired!!

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/moneymag_archive/2008/02/01/102902034/index.htm?postversion=2008012510 Now this is a very interesting read. A little long. But there is some realism here. If you are lucky enough to do what this couple has done. More power to you. 20 years in service with a family. That's dedication..... Not only to a financial plan. Dedication to family. Dedication to each other. Living the American Dream. Too bad St. Louis is not like the rest of America, or would we really want that any way. Nice thought to think about the thoughts that this could be a reality. I wonder how many people already could retire but choose not too. So many what if's in this world. One thing is that they did not say if they paid their house off or not. Now that would be interesting. You have to wonder about interest earned versus interest paid in some respect. But compounding does have it's merits. Kudo's for these people and it for one inspires me to keep doin...
