Should I trade in an expensive car with negative equity for a cheaper one to lower my payments?

Aug 16, 2007 by Some Nerdy Guy | Posted in Personal Finance

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T that I owe about $30,000 on. It's now worth $20,000. I pay about $690 a month for the car and I'm a few months into a refinanced five year loan. I was looking at trading the Charger in for a $17,000 Toyota Corolla and rolling

i think you should be able to answer this question yourself. you just have to first work out your priorities. eg. are you trying to save more money for your family, for an investment opportunity, or for another material possession...etc etc.

Time to panic about the housing market

21.05.12

Back in the heady days of 2005, America looked like an awfully nice place to buy a house. Home prices were marching ever upwards. Home ownership was at record levels. Mortgage rates were at historic lows. Unemployment was falling while the economy was growing at a healthy clip.

Home sales had started showing their first signs of slowing that year, but that didn’t sway the National Association of Realtors from its persistently sunny view of the country’s housing market. “We’re confident that housing is landing softly,” David Lereah, the association’s chief economist, wrote in a November 2005 report just before house prices started a descent that would eventually wipe out nearly $30 trillion in global wealth.

Looking back, the signs of a country burying its head in the sand about a housing bubble seem obvious: the well-told tales of tricky teaser rates, of mortgage fraud and of gigantic home loans handed out to buyers with no income or assets. Household finances were even sketchier. In 2005, the average American owed $1.30 in debt for every dollar of income. Home equity was eroding as Americans pulled more than $900 billion out of their homes to buy cars, granite countertops and put their kids through college.
