Our current economy still seems to causing problems for many.  I do believe it has improved some but can change at anytime.  Everyone seems to have felt the effects in one way or another.   Lots of families are having problems in making ends meet.   I believe everyone stills needs to be cautious in any major  financial decisions. 

Problems with mortgage payments and foreclosures have become a problem nationwide.  I am sure everyone knows a family that has had affected by this.   If you are having financial problems, and need some financial advice make sure you visit Know Your Options by Fannie Mae.  You can find lots of information that may be helpful to you or someone you know.  Foreclosure is not always the answer.  There are other options available.  To avoid foreclosure,  maybe you just need to refinance with a new loan.   Others may be able to do a short sale or a deed-in-lieu. 

When times are tough, there is always people who love to take advantage of people in difficult times.  There are scams that have taken advantage of people who are in a  vulnerable position and need financial help.   Know Your Options by Fannie Mae also has information available information on Beware of Scams .
