How to Shop for a Mortgage Today
By Mertz Esswein

The troubles in the subprime mortgage market have led to tighter standards for all borrowers. Buyers and refinancers with sterling credit records won't feel the pinch. But lenders have reined in their underwriting rules for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit and for those seeking nontraditional loans that require a low initial payment or little verification of income. Now, rising home prices can no longer serve as the ultimate guarantor of a home loan.

Welcome to my first article on email and how to use it more effectively in your life. I call it The Dirty Dozen Rules Of Email Etiquette.

10 Credit Card Myths That Put Your Scores At Risk!
By Linda Ferrari, President, Credit Resource Corp.

Managing your credit is a long and sometimes confusing process. It seems everywhere you look, some program or web site offers credit fixes, offers and deals that make it seem so easy to consolidate debt or, worse, get "easy credit" to buy the things you need. They offer "free credit analysis" - many of which will most likely lead you down a path of credit destruction. Most of what is out there is just plain misinformation and contradicts the steps you are taking to improve and maintain your credit scores. The best defense against making a credit blunder is to better educate yourself about credit and ways to manage it.

We all want the best for our children. This is a worthwhile sentiment despite its sometimes paradoxical nature. Here's an example. Most parents believe in teaching their kids the virtue of manners, as well as the concept of respecting authority. The same parent may simultaneously teach about verbalizing one's feelings or standing up for a belief. For a child, this can result in a mixed message that translates to, "Don't speak unless spoken to - except, of course, if it's about something really important or you believe in what you're doing."
