We get our first lessons about saving and spending our money from our parents. That's why it can be particularly difficult for adult children to recognize when their own parents have financial troubles. Many Americans, however, have had to do just that, as the older generation-and their retirement nest eggs-were particularly hard hit when the markets melted down in 2008 and 2009. It can be embarrassing for parents to turn to their children for help, so they may conceal a problem until it's too late. Don't be afraid to raise the issue yourself by asking if your parents have been affected by the bad economy and what hardships it may have caused them. For example, if they haven't refinanced their home mortgage recently, it might be possible to cut their monthly payments by getting a new lo...

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending).

Over the past couple of years interest rates on mortgages have been very attractive. On the date of this writing, current interest rates are the lowest we have seen in the past 40 years. The low interest rate environment over the last three years has sparked a refinance boom. Millions of people are refinancing their mortgage in an attempt to take advantage of the lower rates. Perhaps you have been considering refinancing your mortgage and wondered if now is a good time. It certainly makes economic sense to pay the least amount of interest on any outstanding loan. However, there are certain things to weigh before refinancing your mortgage, such as closing costs, term on existing mortgage, time horizon in the home, prepayment penalty, equity position, etc. Does this refinance coincide wit...
Ben Bernanke's recent announcement that the Fed will keep interest rates near zero for at least two more years means that CDs and other interest-bearing investments will continue to offer meager returns. If you need more retirement income you might want to consider a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage is a loan against the equity in the home that provides you with tax-free cash payments. You can get a stream of payments for a term or for life, a lump sum payment, a line of credit or a combination of these.
In 2008 and 2009, many homeowners were shocked when their lenders canceled their home-equity line of credit or reduced the amount of credit available. The combination of plummeting home values and the credit crunch made this particular loan product almost impossible for many borrowers to find. A recent Bloomberg article reported that economists anticipate a modest rebound in home-equity lending in 2010, with lenders expected to approve about $36 billion in new home-equity loans this year nationwide.
