Would You Like Roast Beef With Your Mortgage?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! I can't believe 2007 has whisked by so quickly and that once again we are counting down the end of another year. First Halloween, now Thanksgiving. It's just a hop skip and a jump away from Hannukah, Christmas and the New Year.

You will either be doing a lot of entertaining or will be the entertained, which brings me to the subject of this post. You will probably be doing a lot of food shopping during the next few weeks. Since I was having company at my home for Thanksgiving I had made several trips to the grocery store to get eveything that would be needed. While standing in the check-out line I saw a number of brochures for service that the store was offering, from car insurance to home mortgages. Home Mortgages??? The same company that sells me my produce wants to finance my home? I barely trust them to bag my groceries and now they want to finance my house. Maybe they think they are giving added value to their customers, or maybe their just looking for a way to make a quick buck without using highly trained professionals.

I don't think I trust my food store to handle my finances. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned that way. However this just might be a sign of things to come, so maybe I better start practicing myself. Next time you call for a rate quote please don't get upset if I give you a price for roast beef as well, you know just for added value.
