Setting Goals for a Secure Financial Future
How many of us have a real 5 year plan? A 10 year plan? A retirement plan? Do we really take the time to sit down with our financial thoughts and itemize them to make sure we are leveraging assets in the most efficient way possible? The truth is that far too few do.

Gas Prices & Mortgage Savings
Last night I had to stop on my way home from work to fill up on gasoline in these sub-arctic temperatures we are experiencing in the Midwest.

In a Financial Hole? Stop Digging!
How frustrated are you that your credit card bill(s) never seem to get smaller? One of our Florida customers told us it felt like she was trying to fill in one of their famous sinkholes with air. No matter how much she shoveled her money into that financial ditch, that old money pit just kept getting bigger.

Mortgage rates are like a stubborn child. For months now we have been told by some “experts” that the good times are over and the days of remarkably low rates have passed. But like a petulant kid, the rates just won’t pay attention to those who supposedly know better. Today’s great rates create many possibilities for the homeowner; your current situation may create opportunities for lower rates, shorter terms and extra cash.
