Consumer Confidence!

This February, the Consumer Confidence Index rose to 70.4, the highest it has been since February 2008! More Americans are feeling positive about where the economy is headed. These, along with unemployment falling steadily since December, are great indicators for the economic outlook.

In honor of George Washington’s birthday, February 22, 1732, our image and thought of the week are dedicated to him.

Thought of the Week -

“We must never despair; our situation has been compromising before, and it has changed for the better; so I trust it will again. If difficulties arise, we must put forth new exertion and proportion our efforts to the exigencies of the times.”

- George Washington

We hope you had a great President’s Day!

"December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy..."


A day worth remembering and reflecting upon, the December 7, 1941 attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was the key that unlocked the door of American isolationism during World War II. The following day the United States declared war on Japan, marking its official entry into the war that changed the world.

Refinance!

I admit to raising my eyebrows a couple of times when I've received a PR request for someone who has already refinanced within this past year. But this article (Click here to read it!) helps put it into perspective and shows how people can save money (cha-ching!) by refinancing again.

I really like their example; it says if someone secured a 5% mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage on a $200,000 loan, then refinanced at 4.25%, that's a savings of $100 dollars a month! That's four boxes of diapers, that's 100 $1 DI shirts (maybe a couple less for sales tax), or 100 more dollars in your savings account (which would be 36,000 bucks by the end of the loan, more with interest!) $36,000?! That's a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro! Or that money could go toward your children's education... or to a Camaro! I'm just sayin'.

My mind was just blown, what if you haven't refinanced yet and your interest rate is more than 5%... You'd save even more! You could get TWO Camaros! See? Mind blown.

Talk to your local lender (if you don't have one, we're more than happy to supply you with the best in Utah County) and see what your options are!
