Everybody always feel so smug when you get a house and really can't afford it. It's like you pulled one over on the bank. Trouble is, we're the ones hurting down the road. These times are teaching some tough lessons about being solvent and spending below our means. It's a new day, folks, wake up.

Quite a number of Chicago mortgage shoppers found it very easy to get mortgages for homes they could not afford if using traditional mortgage products. Many were enticed by adjustable rate mortgages, interest only mortgages and other vehicles that hid the true cost of home ownership by offering initial monthly payments that made it easy to qualify for  the loan.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/54E87890-A2B3-4EC9-94BE-991900F5C2BD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
