Hello All,

A couple of weeks ago, we received a solitation in the mail from the US district court in Eastern New York. Evidently Washington Mutual has agreed to pay over $4,000,000 to settle two class action lawsuits related to overcharging for flood certification fees. WaMu denies it, but is willing to cough up the money to make the problem go away.

Here is a quick snapshot of the court solicitation.

While I’m not making any direct allegations, its common knowledge that flood certification fees are junk – that is they are often tacked on by lenders to pad the bottom line. That said, you can draw your own conclusions.

Best,

James

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.
