They keep repeating the same mistake

News. One of the biggest challenges to ending the foreclosure crisis is this: A surprising number of homeowners who get their monthly payments reduced fall behind again within a year.

But nearly 40 percent of homeowners who had their monthly payments cut by 20 percent or more last year were delinquent again within a year, according to a report Monday from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Comment. If one does not have the money there is little he/she can do to repay his/her debt. The good news is that the markets always win. This is the safest assumption investors should use when planning their investments.
