credit card, to purchasing a refrigerator for the new house, to
buying a new car, to quitting a job to go full-time into a new
business.

Shopping for a mortgage? If you are one of the tens of thousands of
today's home shoppers, you probably have discovered that mortgage
lending has a language all its own.
For example, you've probably heard about "points",
"margins", and "repayment penalties." Should you

should know what you are signing.
