MORTGAGE RATES <\/strong>
\nWe recently refinanced our house. Got a 15 year rate of 4.25%. It was at 5.375% for a 30 year rate. We’ll save over $60K over the life of the loan and knock off 7 years. If you have a rate of 6% or higher and plan to stay in your home for the long term, check into refinancing. You may be surprised as to how much you can save. <\/p>\n

Rates have crept up and some are saying that 30-year rates may rise to 6% later this year. Rates have hovered around 5% and even below 5% until recently. You could put in an extra payment each year and that will knock off a considerable amount of time on your loan. If you did that each year on a 30-year loan it brings it down to around a 24-year loan. Some scammy banks try to get you to pay bi-weekly and that, in essence adds and extra payment for the year and does the same thing. But the bank charges you extra to do so! <\/p>\n

Need to find out what rates are out there? Check http:\/\/www.bankrate.com<\/a>. Also check your local paper’s listing of current rates. <\/p>\n

WILDWOOD CENTER CLASS <\/strong>
\nI have a class open to the public at the Wildwood Center in Mentor . One of a few east-side classes that I have coming up. Learn how to save tons of money! There is a fee of $12 for residents and $15 for nonresidents. The class is on Monday, May 3 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

CABLE <\/strong>
\nOver 800,000 people have dropped cable. There are other options to watch affordable movies such as redbox (costs a buck) and hulu.com (free). Cable rates keep going up. Satellite has some great teaser rates to get you signed up, but then they raise the price from there. Call you cable company up and find out if there are promotional deals that can be offered. Let them know you pay too much and plan to get rid of cable. Prices have gone up way too high. There are deals out there for existing users that can get $50 or more knocked off your bill. They run specials that they don’t advertise at times through the year. <\/p>\n

Really… <\/p>\n

DIVORCE<\/strong>
\nThat cretin Larry King is getting divorced for the 8th time. What peppers my salad is that looking at him I think he did pretty good with what will be his soon-to-be ex-wife. Shows ya what having money and being on TV does for ya. Looks aren’t everything though, but you’d also figure out what ya really want and don’t want after 7 marriages. Maybe she got tired of his Polident oozing into their intimate kisses. <\/p>\n

He has two kids with her – one is 9 and the other is 11. Get this – they married in a hospital room shortly before surgery to clear his clogged blood vessel. Divorce is usually ugly …almost as much as Larry himself….ouch. He reminds me of Mr. Burns on the Simpsons…hey, he’s hot to someone out there. Marriage has it ups and downs, but apparently he can’t get the down part working very well. <\/p>\n
