Matthew asked: I don’t want to hear from the scare mongers. We are a young family who have had income fluctuations of no fault of our own. Our mortgage is $1400 per month. Daycare costs, etc, are driving us to the brink.
Will banks really work with you? What can we do? What should I expect if I am unable to pay my mortgage?

Hiroshima, Get Over it asked: Many 401k funds offer GICs (guaranteed investment contracts).
Are these likely to be at risk or affected because of the current problems banks are having with sub-prime mortgages?

E - Trade and Countrywide, Citi Corp, and other banks have made billions of follars worth bad sub-prime home loans. Which major bank is not making sub-prime loans and is in good financial shape? That is who I want to bank with.

anything8357 asked: My sister became a bank teller at age 17. I am 16 (2 months short of 17) and was wondering if most common banks hire at 16, or is it just a waste of my time calling each bank? I don’t want to feel stupid if they say “Sorry hun you need to be older.” And I’m talking about branches such as PNC, COMMERCE, and VALLEY NATIONAL. So if anyone has some insight, let me know!

boilerette72 asked: I hear that if a bank goes under other banks will buy these mortgages. But with so many mortgages exceeding values of homes, many banks might not want to buy the mortgages. What would happen if a bank goes under, and no one wants to buy their crappy mortgages?
