[SOC] a lively list

[KD7JYK DM09]

I had a girlfriend who needed a new car.  She had her eye on a new Toyota 
Corolla sedan.  She contacted the bank she had been with for several years 
for a loan.  She didn't hear from them for a while so I suggested she try 
the credit union.  They bought the car for her and her monthly payments to 
them were extremely low, the interest rate around 1.5-2% at the time.  Six 
months later, she heard from her bank, they denied her request for a loan.

Currently, we are operating on one income, out mortgage is 12% of that.
