Trust Low in the Finance Department
The Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index shows that consumers have little faith in financial services. People worry that financial institutions work for their own interests and do not keep investor money safe. Consumers do not trust the economy and are not willing to be very active financially. The Trust Index is also low for real estate, with property owners believing values will only drop. A majority of individuals hope to see strong financial reform that will earn back their trust.
Refinance Your Mortgage and Save in Interest
With interest rates and historic lows, now is a good opportunity to refinance your mortgage. Ilyce Glink tells a reader that refinancing a mortgage to shave as little as 18 months off can save thousands in interest. However, if you choose to refinance, you can put yourself in a bind if you can’t make all of your payments. Ilyce advises you to do the math before you refinance your mortgage, but definitely consider refinancing.
Debt Help For a Friend
If you are a generous person and your friend ask you to help with their debt, make sure you understand the consequences of helping someone in debt.

Rent or Lease to Own if You Can’t Sell Your House
If you’re having trouble selling your home but need money to cover the property’s expenses, you can consider opting for a home lease purchase instead. Real estate attorney Samuel J. Tamkin answers a reader’s question about the difference between leasing a home and selling it. Leasing a home makes the seller the landlord, and gives him or her new obligations. For the renter, a home lease purchase also allows them to have a home and work toward owning it. Be sure you know what you’re bargaining for before you sign the paperwork.
