The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

'To clarify, and you can get a 30 year amortization, but mortgage terms are typically 5 years at a time.

You can get a 30-year fixed rate term, but you will pay through the nose for it. A quick Google search shows a rates of 7.05%.' That is what my Canadian friends told me. The question is, how many homeowners outside the US have 30 year fixed rate mortgages, below 4 percent, fixed for the life of the loan? Sadly, for the past few years, American idiots have been offered , creative mortgages, again. You can bet taxpayers will be expected to bail them out in bulk, this time. Little down, Interest only or teaser rates for 2-3 years should be outlawed.
