Wheatworks Blog: Financial Matters

Wheatworks Software announces the release of a new Free Rent or Buy Calculator for people considering the question of renting or buying real estate.

Deciding whether it’s better to rent a home or buy a home is a complicated decision. One fallacy that many succumb to is that home ownership is the cornerstone of the “American Dream”. It’s not.

The American Dream is related to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A lot of happy people rent. They’re happy to let a landlord care for the property instead of enduring the stress of falling real estate prices and home maintenance.

Other important considerations include the local real estate market, how long you intend to live in the location, whether it’s a “buyer’s market” or a “seller’s market”, whether you have grown children or haven’t yet had children, and whether your concept of “home” requires ownership.

There are many things to consider when deciding whether to rent or buy a home. Some of these include whether or not you believe real estate is over-priced, the real estate market conditions where you wish to live, how long you’ll live in the home, and other considerations.

The most important consideration is probably financial. Wheatworks’ new Free Rent or Buy Calculator helps people look at the decision from a financial perspective.

The Credit Card Bubble Blog at http://www.creditcardbubble.com is a place to consider the impact of the credit card bubble on individuals and the economy. So jump in! Share your thoughts, ideas, tips and forecasts.

If you’ve watched the news lately, you’ve heard about the housing bubble. You’ve also heard about the credit bubble. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned too frequently yet is the credit card bubble.

If you heard about it in passing, the comments were similar to, “home owners are maxing their credit cards to pay for basic necessities like food and clothing.” Or maybe you’ve heard the astounding statistics about the number of credit cards the typical person has and the average credit card debt they carry on their cards.

While it has not received as much attention as the housing bubble or the credit crunch, you’ll hear more about the credit card bubble in the future. And it probably won’t be good news.
