To take advantage of the super low interest rates that exist right now, is anyone refinancing their home? For some people this should be a virtual no brainer. For others, they need to consider that they could lose their jobs and it might be hard to qualify for a new loan.

Personally, the topic doesn't apply to me as my mortgage is paid off, but I still think it is a topic that people need to consider.

Good advice Steve. I have one small note remaining with an APR of 7.5%. Quickly speaking with just one of my banks it looks as though I can reduce that APR to 4.35%.

Saving 3% a year on a 100K note. Refi cost looks to be about $300 total. Darn no brainer!

My money thanks you, Doc

I'm already at 3.5

We just did on our FL house... got 3.25

Hey, that's my good deed for the day!

Paid ours off got a new car to replace wifes 2000 ford explorer we bought new. 0 down, 0% interest for 72 months and no payment for 4 months. House was 5.125 % interest and only had to pay off 5k on it. New car about the same payments as we were doing for the house.
