I would like to know what city you live in where your mortgage is around $90/month? :D
My monthly cell phone bill is $560.00 that IS a common mortgage payment for many average Americans. I would also submit that it is a little obscene that we would even be ok with $90 a month for a "phone bill" - that is how far out of balance (skewed) our sense of "normal" has become.

$560?!?! For a MORTGAGE? I assume that is NOT including Property Taxes? Then MAYBE. If it is, you are referring to a Trailer Park. I assure you, $560 is nowhere near AVERAGE.

"The national average for a home loan is $222,261 with a $1,061 average monthly payment for a 30-year mortgage at 4 percent, according to LendingTree."

At 4%.

I would submit that just because i used that $90 figure (which is the cost of one line and 2GB of Data from VZW) does not mean my sense of normal is skewed. I think that's a ridiculous amount of money for one cell phone. Your $560 bill MUST be for 6 people or more... That's insane... (not saying YOU are, but VZW is to charge that).

Forums are funny (the banter not the people) No Wonder the "Talking Heads" (read: Politicians) are so successful. They actually get folks to believe their Farts smell good AND everybody lives in a quarter million dollar house.
Down here in PoDunkVille der' we ya;ll live in dem der houses ( Not traeelers) reel Hausses!! er. and day cost prit near about 65-70 thousand dollears. Ummm an we pay da bank about 500-600 of them a month on average, Uh Huh.

Anyway.... my Mortgage discussion (wasn't the point of my post anyway) is Done for today.
Maybe the "Humor" was enjoyed by those who..... enjoyed it. :confused:

Just discussin, brother. That's what us city folk do on forums. :D

It's an AVERAGE though, my friend. Sure, I can show full on houses that are less then $30,000 in Cleveland (LOTS of them), just like I can show you $2.4 million dollar homes. Yet the national average is: stated above.

(Not trying to be difficult here, I'm married to a Mortgage Underwriter and know a lot about housing)

And I'm a mortgage banker, so we're both on the same page. I wasn't talking averages, I was speaking more that it could easily be a mortgage payment for some. But your point is well taken. If you all knew what my mortgage payment was, you'd wonder why I hadn't looked at that number as perhaps the water bill! LOL! :confused:

I think it's lollipop. I'll probably wait a good while before installing it though.

I vote Lollipop as well. Can't see any other reason for a SOAK at this point.
