Finedvice...what it is?

        Finedvice is a blog I have just started to share my experiences on Finance and Education. These are two of my passions and I would like to learn as much as possible and at the same time share my learning. 

            The word Vice in the title suggests that there many "vices" in both these fields. I want to concentrate specially on these "vices" in this blog and hope that they will help get some ad"vice" through my posts. 

         Some of the thoughts I want to share here: Importance of Finance and Education.

Financial ad"vice" and how confusing it is to a common man? 

Specific experiences with money and lessons learnt. Talk about every word that seems like jargon out there..... equity, stocks, credit, delinqueny, insurance, debt, mortgage..

30 year fixed rate Mortgage ad"vice"

Anyone buying a home should know about this term. But even after getting a total of 5 Mortgages (3 purchases, 2 Refinance) over the last 6 years I learn something new each time.  Fixed rate is exactly what it sounds like it is fixed for the life of the loan. The 30 year fixed rate  tends to be the default option. Many people give unsolicited ad"vice" that you should always lock in a 30 year rate when you think the interest rates are low.  But this is not the right strategy. Why? Read on... The decision of Fixed vs. Variable rate should be based on how long you think you will live in the place you are buying and your view of where the interest rates are going; or how long you are going to hold onto the property. If you are 100% sure you will not move from here or you have made up your mind you will hold onto this property forever that's when locking in a 30 year fixed rate might make sense. But even then you should weigh it against the Variable rate option and how much ...
