The Independent Investor: Why FHA Loans Are so PopularBy Bill Schmick,
05:03PM / Thursday, June 20, 2019 | |
 Federal Housing Authority Loans have long been one of the most popular types of mortgage loans available. Roughly 20 percent of all mortgage applicants will choose an FHA loan because it makes total economic sense to do so. And the older you are, the more important having an FHA approved dwelling becomes. To many, that may appear to contradict your understanding of the FHA loan market. Most believe it is a program to assist younger folks, who need a hand to purchase their first home. You wouldn't be far wrong from a historical perspective, but times have changed. The FHA loan was originally designed during the Depression years to help home buyers, (usually first-time 0 Comments

Smart Financial Moves for 'Gig' Economy WorkersSubmitted by Edward Jones,
10:56AM / Wednesday, June 19, 2019 | |
 Not that long ago, most people worked for some type of an organization, such as a business or the government or a school district. But today, more and more workers are going their own way and joining what's known as the "gig" economy. If you will be one of them, you'll want to make the right moves to advance your financial goals in what can be a challenging work environment.

Since that time, committee members have heard from a number of residents concerned about studies that have linked 5 Comments

'Aladdin' Goes Dark, Political and Not As Much FunBy Rebecca Dravis,
12:18PM / Tuesday, June 18, 2019 | |

But OK. "Aladdin" wasn't ALL awful.
We saw it at Hathaway's Drive-In Theatre under the stars, which is always fun - if you don't mind the bugs and the less-than-stellar sound quality. Yes, I know, both of those would be improved if we sat INSIDE the car, but I still don't know how that would work with four people. So
