在美国,不负债,不太容易。 我是一个量入而出的主妇。除了房贷,不欠别的债。可是,我的银行一直想让我多贷款。这次,我可能会有计划地“上钩”。 What a bank does is to send you (blank) checks, with teasing rates (very low rate for the first year, say). I was always careful, because I was afraid the rate could go UP the second year. Finally, my bank sent me a check for USD10k or more, at a 7-year fixed rate of 3.75%. I need cash, so I may finally give in to the temptation. What do I need the cash for? For my son's college tuition, of course. 可怜天下父母心!
