Author: Elizabeth DennisThe number one reason for home foreclosures in the United States is a simple one: home owners took out mortgages that they simply could not afford. It is true that in many cases, the lenders did not do much to prevent these doomed-to-fail loans, and in many instances encouraged them. Ultimately however, it is the responsibility of the home buyer to know if they can afford a loan that is offered to them. That said; let us take a look at how critical it is to respect how much you can actually, truly, honestly afford. How Much You Can Borrow is Different from How Much You Can Afford A mortgage lender will use a standard calculation to determine how much he is willing to lend you. He will gather from your application, information about your income, debts, credit, and available down payment. By calculating what is called a debt-to-income ratio, your lender will determine how much he can safely (an extremely subjective term) lend you.

In recent years, new technologies have hit the market helping pool owners heat their pools in more energy efficient and money saving ways. Heating a standard size outdoor swimming pool is expensive and inefficient using normal electric pool heaters. However, a pool without heat means that in many regions people will not be able to enjoy their swimming pool during many months of the year. Alternatives are needed for pool heating, and two important recent innovations have been the development of solar pool heaters and swimming pool heat pumps.Solar pool heaters use solar heating panels to raise the pool water temperature by 10 degrees or more. By using the sun's energy to heat your pool, you will be using renewable energy and saving money heating your pool. However, solar pool heaters may not be right for everyone, as they tend to work less efficiently on cloudy days and you will need space to set up the solar panel array. Still, they are a great alternative to electric pool heaters and a good choice for the environment.Swimming pool heat pumps are another innovative technology. Instead of heating the pool water, as an electric pool heater attempts to do, heat pumps transform air...more
