Under new guidelines suggested by the federal government, starting in January minimum monthly payments for credit card debt will generally increase. Many mortgage lenders will no longer require payments equal to 2 percent of the debt, an amount that includes interest and fees. Instead most will now require a payment equal to 1 percent of the debt plus fees, interest and charges. Altogether, the new payment will be more than 2 percent of the borrower''s outstanding debt in many cases.
This is the good news. The higher monthly payments will reduce overall interest costs and force people to borrow less with credit cards.
The bad news? It will reduce the ability of many consumers to obtain a mortgage.
According to the most recent Federal Reserve report, we now have $799.1 billion dollars in outstanding credit card debt. That''s about $2,681.54 per person: For a household with four people, average credit card debt amounts to almost $10,750.
Such debt would not be a problem if it were offset by equally robust savings. Unfortunately, the Bureau of Economic Analysis says our saving percentage was -.2 percent in both October and November. Instead of putting money away, in those two months alone we spent $37.4 billion more than we earned.
Credit card financing is unsecured debt -- a form of financing that''s especially risky for mortgage lenders. More risk means higher interest, and in the case of credit cards interest rates between 18 and 28 percent are well known.
Let's imagine a household with $10,000 in credit card debt. Imagine also that the interest rate is a modest 18 percent and that a monthly repayment equal to 2 of the outstanding balance is required. If you borrowed no more this loan would take 7.8 years to repay and interest over time would amount to $8,622. Increase the required monthly payment to 4 percent, the same debt could be repaid in 2.7 years and interest would amount to $2,628 -- a plump savings of almost $6,000. The new repayment standards for credit cards will reduce credit card debt for millions -- but the higher minimum payments
A lot of people are simply confused by seeming inconsistencies in the insurance industry. This article will make one of such issues clear. Once you understand it you'll be in a better position to realize more savings without compromising yourself.First and foremost, you must understand that insurance companies are there to make profit too. If you miss this point most of what I'll say here won't mean much. Now, this does not mean they are not also there to render value-added service. It only means that they'll only do it with the hope of making some profit.With the foregoing in mind, you'll appreciate that insurance companies actually play a kind of probability game. Let me make it clear with this...

Okay, so you’ve heard the dreaded ‘B’ word or maybe you’re living it now? Chances are you have heard all of the talk about bankruptcy and finance, and you probably believe that if you are or have been bankrupted, you have no hope on earth of getting a mortgage, let alone any finance at all. You can be forgiven for believing this, because many mortgage brokers will run the other way if you approach them saying, “Help me get a loan, I am/have been bankrupt!” The good news is that if you have been bankrupted – even if you are currently bankrupt right now – you can get a home loan!I can get a Home Loan? Yeah Right!!It’s absolutely true, and this article shows you how. Actually, I’ll give you a short summ

Winston Churchill’s Famous War Cry Is Fully Applicable for Today’s EntrepreneursArguably, the courage and moral leadership provided to the western world by Winston Churchill was the key instrument essential to keeping World War II from ending early, and ever so badly for the cause of freedom. The ability to use words as a tool for effecting an outcome was never so vividly displayed, before or since. A demoralized and near beaten people took heart, did not quit in the face of overwhelming losses and turned an imminent route into ultimate victory. This lesson is vital for entrepreneurs to apply to their struggle to gain traction and successfully compete in contemporary markets roiled with competition.Churc

Looking over an email from Web Pro News I received I read the following headline, "Google Says You Are In Charge." Google is dominant in search and some people have expressed worries about it. I for one must admit that they have made steady improvements.Is Google's dominance bad. Most people will judge Google's performance by the SERPs. If the search engine report pages don't meet their own personal expectations then those people will question Google's algorithm.SERPs for SEO are read: 1) by the searchers who want results that are specific to his/her personal interests 2) by website owners or webmasters who check to see if their website has done well for a higher position in the list of results. But I
When mortgage lenders look at mortgage applications they consider many financial issues. Of particular interest is what borrowers spend each month, spending divided into two general categories: Housing expenses and consumer expenses.
Housing expenses are typically seen as mortgage interest and principal plus property taxes and insurance -- "PITI" in lender jargon. Consumer expenses include PITI plus such things as required monthly payments for credit card bills, auto payments, student loan pay, etc.
Expenses are described as a percentage of monthly income. If your household has a monthly income of $8,000 and monthly PITI is $2,240 then your "front" ratio is 28 percent. If overall required expenses are $2,880 then the "back" ratio is 36 percent. Overall, lenders would say the ratios are "28/36."
As it happens, to qualify for given mortgage loan programs you must meet certain front and back ratios. The ratios for loan programs vary, so if you do not qualify for one program you may qualify for others. For instance, there are different ratios for conventional loans (28/36), FHA financing (29/41) and VA loans (effectively 41/41). Adjustable rate mortgages often use 33/38 ratios while other loans have even more liberal standards, some with a back ratio above 50.
Now go back to the new payment standards for credit cards. If your required monthly payment goes from $200 to $280, that''s good for reducing credit card debt -- but your monthly required payment has increased. For instances, monthly expenses may go from $2,880 to $2,960. No a big deal in terms of cash or in the cost of a household with a monthly income of $8,000, but now the "back" ratio is 37 percent.
Whoops. That higher credit card payment means some
