MORTGAGE LOAN CALCULATION
A house is often the most expensive item that people will purchase in their lifetime. Since a house is expensive, the way that many people are able to afford a home is by taking a loan, also called a mortgage. A mortgage loan is a loan, often by a bank, that people use to purchase a home.
To decide how large a mortgage you might need, there are several different items you will need to look at. First, you will not likely be able to get a loan for the full purchase price of the house. This is because lenders, require that people who take mortgages pay a percent of the purchase price immediately. This is known as the down payment. Down payments are often 20% of the purchase price of the house. In addition, there will be other costs that you will have to pay to your lender. These expenses included with a mortgage when purchasing a house are known as closing costs. Often, these closing costs may be included in the total mortgage loan.

RENTING AN APARTMENT
One way to look for an apartment is to read the local newspaper's real estate section. In the apartment for rent section you will find many advertisements for apartments for rent.

There are many factors to look at when choosing an apartment to rent. First should be how much money can you afford to pay for your monthly rent. Along with this you should consider other monthly payments including utilities.

What other factors may we look at when renting an apartment? (Number of bedrooms, size, location, amenities, etc).

CAR INSURANCE
Standard Coverage - Liability Insurance
The most important auto insurance coverage to understand is standard coverage. Standard coverage includes liability insurance, which is the type of insurance most often required by states. Liability insurance insures the individual for the cost of any damage or injury that is caused to someone else during an accident. The amount of insurance coverage required by states is often minimal, so it is often recommended to get additional insurance, depending upon your own personal circumstances and budget.

How Liability Insurance is Described
Liability insurance is often described by three numbers, such as 50/100/25. These numbers refer to the amount of liability insurance coverage. 50/100/25 coverage, includes $50,000 of bodily injury to a single individual, $100,000 of bodily injury caused to everyone in an accident, and $25,000 of property damage.

Discussion questions:
What other factors may we look at when deciding on which auto insurance provider? (Company reputation, etc).

What other types of car insurance coverage are there? (medical payments insurance, underinsured and uninsured motorist insurance, collision insurance, comprehensive auto insurance, auto towing, auto glass, rental insurance, emergency roadside assistance).
