starfishblues asked:


I mean, I understand the concept of building credit and everything, but what is the point of student credit cards? What is the purpose? I’m sorry if this is a silly question, but I don’t really get it.

And can you trade them in after you’re no longer a student for a “real” credit card? Do people just keep them forever? I always thought closing accounts lowered your credit score?

perfumeholic asked:


if I am planning to start saving $850.00 a month, into a savings account, which would give me more money over say a year or two; an account that compounds daily or monthly? And, any suggestions of whom I can start saving with? Or, would it be wiser to save up and invest the minimum required for a money market account? The reason I am so interested is I am a single parent and trying to save up for a home, the more you can pay down, the lower the monthly payments will be, and hopefully the better the home I can afford.

Greatone76 asked:


I could use the help of potentially reworking my mortgage to be more affordable. It is possible for me to get by without doing so. If I do call my mortgage holder and rework my mortgage for a reduced interest rate or reduced principle how does that affect my credit score?

honeybear asked:


I got a letter in the mail from the bank that says paying our mortgage payment bi-weekly instead of monthly could save us $40,000 to $100,000 in interest and reduce our mortgage term by 7 to 9 years without refinancing. How does this work?

Wondering???? asked:


I know the mortgage industry is in a mess right now, but I am looking toward the future when we rebound. Wondering what requirments there are to become a mortgage broker in Ohio. I am looking to work this industry on the side, as I already have a full time sales job. Also what are the typical commisions paid to brokers for sub-prime, prime, and jumbo mortgage loans…is this split with the company you work for? I already work 100% commission, so that is not a problem. Any input on this career is greatly appreciated, ie the ups and downs.
