Just a quick note to encourage those of you facing tough economic times to try to checkout the recent Oprah Winfrey show on which Suze Orman appeared (April 2, 2009 show- if you missed it visit www.Oprah.com to see show highlights and read about the show). The show included a great deal of information that may prove useful to those of you facing tough economic times. Suze also talked about the housing refinance and modification programs I recently blogged about. A useful website to help you determine if you qualify for these programs was also discussed on the show.

I strongly encourage you to visit www.makehomeaffordable.gov if you are behind on your mortgage payments or are struggling to keep the payments current.
