Well spoken and I couldn't agree with you more.
There are some people who just pay attention to what their monthly payment would be. However, there is a major disconnect when they take out the adjustable rate mortgage. Here we are at historical interest rate lows and they don't think that their monthly payment will increase! Duh! I guess they are simply hoping it doesn't. The "educated" folks that should know better are gambling here.
