The Creature from Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin

You are probably aware that I only update this site as I find articles and information that I feel is pertinent.

A couple things I'm watching now and hope you are too. The new banking legislation that congress is working on, and,

a book called The Creature from Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin, A Second Look at the Federal Reserve.  I have had it on request at the library for months and finally got a copy. It is recommended by Ron Paul (Congress, House Banking Committee)and Robert Kiyosaki, (Rich Dad Poor Dad).  And, Willy Nelson, imagine that.

The book is huge!  I just started reading and it is fascinating with lots of history and photos.  It came highly recommended to me.  Despite the size it reads faster than one would expect.  But here's the thing.  When I went to renew it someone else was in line so back to the library it goes and I will get in line again.  Instead of trying to do my own review I have decided to post the link to the Amazon reviews.  Sorry for the short cut but I want to make sure this book is getting out there and people are aware of it.  I did notice that Amazon also carries an abridged version on CD.  This might be the way to go if time is an issue.  Five Star.

There's good and bad news about the experience people have with loan modifications. If you are considering one you may find this article and facebook link helpful.

I know that my experience with Chase last year was overwhelmingly terrible and I never was able to get my problem solved. The hours of being re-routed and being on hold was miserable.

But, the loan modification program can have great benefits to homeowners who are struggling to find a way to keep going and well may be worth the effort in the long run.

Should we expect better service than this? Of course.
