There are 11 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School

[caption id="attachment_4461" align="alignright" width="275"] Bill Gates[/caption]

It's been written that there are 11 things children will not learn in school. It talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. The rules are as follows:

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes; learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Author unknown. It was cited that Bill Gates wrote this in his book called Business @The Speed of Thought but that has been debunked. It is also thought that David Emery authored this but it has not been confirmed. In any event there seem to be a lot of provoking thoughts associated with these rules.

Installment Credit Can Hurt Credit Rating

Too much installment credit can hurt your credit rating. Many homeowners are shocked when they get a look at their credit reports. Even those who pay their bills on time and maintain low credit-card balances can have a less-than-perfect rating. How is that possible?

Your credit picture reflects a number of different aspects of your borrowing behavior. For example, you may have several open credit-card accounts with high limits. That means you could borrow a lot of money in a short period of time, which might worry a new lender who's thinking about extending you still more credit. It's best to keep just one or two credit-card accounts open and to keep their balances low.

CREDIT CLEAN-UP

Although your credit rating may have been sterling as a first-time home buyer, years of credit-card and utility accounts, car payments and consumer loans may have scuffed up that financial image a bit. Late or missed payments have a negative effect on your credit profile, as do large, long-term balances on your accounts. Your credit score, a rating system many lenders use to evaluate your financial situation, may prevent you from borrowing as much as you'd like for your next home or getting the lowest interest rate currently available.

The wise move-up buyer will take stock of his or her credit standing and debt status well before attempting the next home purchase. You may need some time to reduce your debt, catch up on any delinquent accounts, remove inaccuracies and blemishes from credit reports and make other adjustments to increase your credit score.

MOVE UP

You may need to move and buy another home sooner than you think.

Consumer Loan Changes in 2013 Cost More

With the Dodd-Frank bill having no chance for repeal, it appears their new proposed rule changes will be enforced. Most of these new rules affecting our industry revolve around Owner Occupied residential consumer loans. These changes will begin in January 2013. Some of the changes that will impact the “Hard money” space are listed below.

Consumer Loan Changes

NO financing any lender or broker points within the loan! This means the borrower will have to pay the origination fees out of their savings or finance it on a credit card.

NO Prepay protection will be allowed to the lender! This will eliminate the ability to offer ZERO points for a residential loan, a feature that has allowed the majority/total of points to go to the broker.

No Balloon payments will be allowed! This will likely force lenders into 30 year fully amortized loans. With the current loan rates this is a good thing but in the future it may prohibit short term loans at reduced interest rates.

All borrowers that want to get Hard Money/Alternative loans on their home will be FORCED to attend Consumer counseling set up by HUD.

Considering selling your home using a Contract for Deed? There are considerable risks for the homeowner in choosing this option. We would encourage getting legal advice from a real estate attorney before implementing this option.

The end results of these pending changes will affect the cost of capital to the consumer. These changes will result in immediate costs for the consumer and as interest rates rise and a need for lower rates is needed they will not be available with balloon type of loans and other short term loan products.
