Alright already -- you don't see merit in the approach these loan products take. Go save the world from them!
As to 'advertising', I'll tell you what -- I'm taking my contact info off my signature, just like you. And, when I mentioned CMG's website long ago, I erred. However, if I were to post every lenders website, would you make the same statement?
I try not to get personal -- I like to work together -- and, I enjoy helping visitors to this site, too -- just like you. Thanks for the feedback, my friend.
P.S. -- I like your photo with your little one! Good Health to You! _________________ Chuck Armbruster

livinginnky:
I belive you correct on the MMA. I have a hard time swallowing the mma ptich no change in spending habits. The math runs on $1,000 a month discretionary cash flow (who has that). The change in spending habits is, you are sending the money to the 1st through the HELOC. So where as before your discretionary built up in checking, it now reduces HELOC and then you pay down the first. So, the only real value I see, is if the software shows you when to pay on your first where as before you wouldn't have done so, then there is value.
Secondly, I like the idea of having a HELOC because of liquidity, that's about it.
Now, if you take a client that is saddled with debt, and can turn the cash flow they WERE spending on debt and turn it towards either investments or acceleration and maintain some liquidity to the invested funds, then you have something powerful.
In a nuthshell, if a borrower has hardly and debt and discretionary, I have a problem with acceleration... Unless THEY want it. I believe it far superior to place discretionary into outside investments that exceed the net cost of servicing debt on a home.
That's all for now |

After surfing the topics I am now aware of the posts and have seen some of the comments. Actually I understand a lot of the comments that talk against the program. Myself, I expect it. This is a mental and practical paradigm shift of how we manage our finances and homeownership. So naturally you would come accross resistance. It takes a paradigm shift to change. When the shift goes against the "norm", even when changing for the better or the change has potential to change the world, it is poeple human nature to reisist. The same thing happen when the microwave was introduced. The same thing happened when Mr. Bell introduced the original telephone and it happened again with the cell phone. All you heard was "why in the world would people want to carry a cell phone and be reachable at all times?" or "who needs a microwave - it will take away from family dinner time and the joy of cooking".
Interestingly all the negative comments I read came from people whom have not experienced the program. In my opinion you have to experience something before intelligently speaking on it. Mark my words, the Money Merge Account will become as common as the microwave or telephone. Changing the fabric of America when it comes to homeownership.
By the way, I am not an employee of United First Financial. I own a financial consulting firm where I have included the Money Merge Account into my business model.
Blessings to you,

Hello, Especially a good day to you Mr. Matthews
I have read each and ever single post on this topic, and I understand the concept of the MMA account. Its one of the most ingenious programs out there. I am not representing the United First Financial or MMA program in any way, so please here me out.
The concept of the MMA program is quite simple. I teach my clients this every day.
1) Create a budget that insures you have more money coming in then going out.
2) "Invest" Your money to work for you.
3) Use the bank's money to pay the bank back.
The concept of interest canceling is because it it calculated on a Average Daily Balance system, you pay less then loan that on an amortization schedule. The interest on loans, vehicles, and mortgages have been pre-calculated. This is exactly why they have term lengths, interest, and pre-determined monthly payments. Credit Cards and HELOCS or Line of Credits are calculated on the Average Daily Balance. The interest is most effective when the balances are low.
From my understanding of why people are against line of credits is because people are treating them like loans. A line of credit should be treated like a credit card, for emergency purposes and to be minimized asap.
If you would like, you can challenge me on any situation you would like. I have studied for years to find the lowest possible way to pay off debts, and mortgage is no exception. _________________ DJ Jennings
