Dog Days of February or Why Do Mortgage Companies Still Try to Take My Money
For the past several weeks, we’ve been really sick at our home. Some sort of flu is going around…not the stomach sort, but every other symptom there is.Â
January and February are my best months for writing. It’s this lovely dead time where I don’t have to answer to anyone else…Christmas shopping and the ‘holidays’ are over. Snow and cold keeps me indoors rather than out enjoying the sunshine. There are no play rehearsals, no concerts, and in our family, no basketball games to attend. I can concentrate and get ‘it’ done. Yea!
Not so this year. No, this year we’ve fought the virus thing, this year we’ve attempted to gather our tax information together and get it done early, this year we’re dealing with unemployment and Cobra and waiting to see how stimulus activities initiated by the Obama adminstration are truly going to affect us.
And what do I get when I log onto my blog?
No less than FORTY spam messages asking me to refinance my house at new low rates with special financing options. AS IF…
The banks and lenders and mortgage companies didn’t learn their lessons from 1929; it’s apparent to me they aren’t learning from this latest debacle that the Federal government is bailing them out of, and its even more apparent they plan to continue their sneaky, underhanded ways of deluding people into believing they can afford what they cannot … WHAT THE F?
If the government is going to get a handle on the current financial climate, reverse, maybe, some of the horrendous damage done by financial lending institutions to the average, ordinary citizens of the U.S., these same institutions need to stop playing their games.
Dog Days of February indeed. Half of my productivity time is going toward keeping my own watch on what these companies are trying to do next to rip us off.
