Good suggestions btw...<BR/><BR/>Citizen...I agree, although I don't mind financing cars on very short loans, as long as the cars are used 2 to 3 year old cars. Older well running cars with low mileage should be bought with cash though.TheWeyrd1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064826219629525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-67750492189206537112008-08-17T20:02:00.000-06:002008-08-17T20:02:00.000-06:00I agree with all this.

I learned that the hard way and have TONS more money in my saings because of that....also if people have things financed like myself (student loans and a car) I always try to pay more then the minimum because I want to hit something towards that principal as much as I can. <BR/><BR/>I follow your advice religiously on finance---remember you are my financial guru :o)Jdancer8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13325808266821705755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-14595156588733641162008-08-16T08:17:00.000-06:002008-08-16T08:17:00.000-06:00Ariana...yes, I would like to put the credit cards...Ariana...yes, I would like to put the credit cards out of business, at least as it operates now!TheWeyrd1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064826219629525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-86333914063883372232008-08-16T08:16:00.000-06:002008-08-16T08:16:00.000-06:00Fiona...btw, you were right about the "Internation...Fiona...btw, you were right about the "International Spam"!

Do NOT use a Home Equity Line of Credit though. Use a regular fixed 2nd mortgage equity LOAN. The key here is not being bamboozled into any kind of "Line of Credit" which is basically like a credit card finance charge and structure wise.TheWeyrd1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064826219629525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531135336389622338.post-81943261196867561502008-08-15T08:21:00.000-06:002008-08-15T08:21:00.000-06:00Oh, INTERNATIONAL comment spam.

We always go in with a large downpayment, though, so that we can do a 2-year financing thing. It's definitely nice to not have those things hanging over your head.Fiona Picklebottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506170190612993100noreply@blogger.com
