Top 5 Credit Misconceptions

+1

I received a letter from one of my credit card companies. I only use it pay my cell phone bill and I pay off the balance every month. The letter said they were lowering my credit limit to $3,000 for "underutilization." Should I be concerned that this will impact my credit score? I have over cards with higher limits.

Should You Pre-Pay Your Mortgage?

To compare the interest rate of your mortgage to high-yield savings, don't you need to consider the AFTER TAX rates for each of these? Or is it a wash?. Mortgage interest is tax deductible and interest earned on savings accounts is taxable. That means your AFTER TAX mortgage interest rate is effectively lower and your AFTER TAX savings interest rate is also lower.
