Alternatives for Managing Debt
Summary:
Many borrowers today are caught in a flawed money management system. A common "solution" is the interest-only mortgage, which pays off one debt while promoting overspending and increased credit card usage. As a borrowing nation, we're facing financial trouble.Article Body:
In today's financial landscape, it's not uncommon for borrowers to find themselves ensnared in a money management strategy that simply doesn't work. A prevalent quick fix is the interest-only mortgage?"a loan that clears one debt while enabling further overspending and debt accumulation through credit cards. Unfortunately, as a nation, our borrowing habits have led us to a precarious situation.Lending companies often extend credit that far exceeds reasonable debt-to-income ratios?"a practice fraught with danger. Average consumers are more burdened by debt than ever, slowly sinking under escalating credit card balances. The issue begins early, with credit card recruiters targeting college students, enticing them with promises of easy credit. Consumers outside of college also indulge in reckless spending, further entangling themselves in debt. Their plan? Use an interest-only mortgage to pay off growing credit card balances?"an approach that merely relocates their financial woes without truly reducing them.
The supposed benefit of an interest-only mortgage is that it transforms non-deductible debt into a tax-deductible one. Sounds advantageous, right? Not quite. If you're consistently spending beyond your means, an interest-only mortgage benefits no one but the mortgage company. These lenders are not interested in your financial well-being; reducing your expenses and managing your assets effectively would mean less profit for them.
Rather than falling into the trap of these mortgages, consumers should reconsider their spending habits. Learning to live within one's means can avert both current and future financial problems?"something an interest-only mortgage fails to offer. It's a poor choice with no long-term benefits.
Financing consumers with poor credit is inherently risky. Yet, when a mortgage is involved, there's usually a tangible asset at stake. Risking this asset for an interest-only loan exemplifies poor judgment. Undertaking mortgage debt requires careful deliberation. Without a solid grasp of mortgages and interest concepts, consumers risk making decisions that could harm them financially for years. Those already saddled with bad credit and decision-making histories often feel trapped, lacking options.
It's astonishing that, amid widespread regulations and credit rating reports, interest-only loans remain legal. Where are the leaders supposed to safeguard the lending industry? They seem oblivious to this concept. Perhaps key figures, like Alan Greenspan, missed the introduction of these loans, but it's time to wake up before mortgage brokers devise another scheme to escalate consumer debt to even greater heights.
