We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680, 000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.

Thank for the information. I always look at them both as second loan and I didn't know they differ from each other. Thanks a lot

[DEEZEEMTB]

Both if used effectively….key word “effectively” can be used to grow wealth. If it is used for vacations, cars and so on can financially ruin people.

Awesome and stay blessed. Navy Federal has a 40 year HELOC. I just received a 30 year variable HELOC.

[quintalford]

yes thank you. I didn't even know it was a difference

[DrFinancialLiteracy]

I am trying to teach financial literacy to my community. I would like to be specific about what I am saying to them because of past experiences with capitalist and democratic systems. Some Youtubers are saying a HELOC is line of credit and not a loan. Question: Is a HELOC or HELOAN loans or lines of credit? I have seen them referred to as Second Mortgages which I am interpreting as a loan. In my recent document for my HELOC, the term loan occurs exceptionally more often than a line of credit or HELOC. Thanks in advance for your response to help my community to understand the US financial system.
