It is a recipe for heartache here in the States but so many people get sucked in to it.

If you are a Republican today, you are a Trump supporter. You had every out. Two former Republican presidents voted for Hillary Clinton and publicly said .....for the love of country and not party. End of story.

I have never met an actual Libertarian.......ever. They are always Repbulican, lite. They want all the creature comforts of big government to benefit THEM, while crowing about how the government should stay out of their lives of the less fortunate.

Tell him you are pregnant and plan on keeping the baby. That ought to tell you how much these types are serious about life.

Can I just say in advance of Pride Week, I love every single thing about my son. He is leaving us, my husband and I, who love every second of his being. He is strong as all hell, smart, amazing, awesome and the light of our lives. Funny and finding his way. There isn’t a single thing about this kid we would ever…

I wish everything you said is true. The simple fact is that so many people contribute to it. I was one of them. It is easy to blame the top person but countless others are to blame.

Exactly.

Oh please. Deutsche Bank has hedged their bets. That’s how they are still around. Great strategy. It isn’t like they are all knowing.

Trust me when I say that the banks haven’t learned a damn thing, nor do they care. They have hedged accordingly.

True story: my mother lived a few doors down from Ivan Boesky. She lived there for 40+ years and bought when it was a cheap place to live.

That is truly the Trump legacy. It goes back generations.

I forgot to ask what you meant by the market is awful in your area now. What do you mean?

Which scenario are you talking about? The banking crisis of the 1980's where (some) spent a laughable 18 months to 4 years in a federal prison or the Enron guys who served about the same time?

It sure does. The VA offers adjustable rate loans and steer FAR FAR away from them. Make certain it is a locked rate. Not a tempting first couple of years low, low rate that adjusts over time. I don’t care if it’s a zero percent loan for 5 years, you will get fucked under those terms. Get a 30 year (or 15 if you can…

The 1980's would like a word with you about “community banks”. Does the Savings and loan crisis come to mind?

May I give you a HUGE piece of advice? Do not, under any circumstances, get an adjustable rate. Lock in a 30 year rate and if and when the rates drop, refinance. It is tempting to get a super low adjustable interest rate or none at all (interest only loans) but it will backfire. Lock in a rate.

Not sure. What I know is that Don Jr. said his father wasn’t involved in their lives (his, Eric’s or Ivanka’s) whatsoever until they graduated from college. Donald Trump himself has said he “wrote the checks” and let the mother take care of the children. What Don Jr. remembers about him as a child was being brought to…

I can comfortably say that without any restrictions, banks will trade anything. Your mortgage, car note, credit card debt, student loan, etc. If you don’t think it applies to you (not you specifically), it will. Wait until you want to buy a house and suddenly your interest rate is 6%, with near perfect credit. Or a…
