Today we talk about the most interesting, amazing, phenomenal, and spectacular topic ever: BANKING...wow. Surprising, these topics are rather relevant. Forbearance is in the air almost as much as COVID-19. The question is, should you consider using the forbearance features outlined from the CARES Act? What is the difference between forbearance and deferment regarding mortgage payments? If this is too deep, maybe we should just start from the beginning...like where should I store my money: in a bank or credit union? Join us for another interesting conversation around personal finances and banking on Homemade Ops.
