Technology Providers Are Holding Me Hostage
Am I Too Dependent on Technology Companies?
They’re bleeding us dry. Rates go up without warning, “Promotions” drop off mid-way through a billing period and they claim they can’t do anything until the billing is over. I cry “Bullshit” on that one. I’ve jumped through hoops, and been thrown into voicemail hell too many times. If it means giving up my beloved Hallmark Channel, I’m willing to go…

WASHINGTON | US long-term mortgage rates fall; 30-year at 4.57 percent
WASHINGTON (AP) — Long-term U.S. mortgage rates fell this week, marking their third decline in the past four weeks after increasing last week.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages was 4.57 percent, down from 4.62 percent last week. By contrast, the 30-year rate averaged 3.90 percent a year ago.
Putting the recent decline in perspective, long-term loan rates have been running at their highest levels in seven years. The Federal Reserve last week raised its benchmark interest rate for the second time this year and signaled that it may step up its pace of rate increases.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate loans eased to 4.04 percent from 4.07 percent last week.
