Got nailed with TDs hike on HELOCs. Looking for advice regarding the best way to refiance a respectable sum that I plan to pay off during years 2 thru 3.

TD is offering me 2.5% fixed for one year and 2.6 for two. Can I do any better?? Atm they are unwilling to negotiate beyond the initial offer even though I do a ton of business with them (This is my 4th mortgage with them in the last 8 years).

@MDJ. I strongly believe that making yourself or your kids much more well-rounded people is very important in life! Let’s use an example – would you rather strike a conversation with an IT geek who is brilliant in his own field and lives his entire life online in code and has nothing to say to anybody offline… Or would you rather have a conversation with a well-traveled person with a diverse set of experiences and skills to demonstrate?

I guess it is pretty obvious that to me, life is all about learning new skills, experiencing new things, thinking about new concepts, meeting new people…. In my ideal life, the only thing constant is change.

@Michael: I wish I knew if Jim Grant moving to the bull’s column is part of the process of the wall of worry coming down or marks the peak of this bounce. And no, I’m not leveraging or loading up on stocks tactically either.

@MoneyEnergy: I found the problem. It was with WP-cache. It’s disabled now and you should see the comments immediately.

@MDJ: I’ll enroll my kids in swimming and maybe one other activity. I don’t want to overload them — I feel they should have the time to run around and just be kids.

@MoneyEnergy: The comments are recorded but they don’t show up immediately. I’ll investigate why that is. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for the link. I have my mortgage at FirstLine and the HELOC is still at prime.

Not sure if my comment went through – maybe that’s why we’re seeing a repeat here?
