CONSERVING CASH
A lthough m ost buyers
would like their mortgage pay­
ments to be stable, this is less
important for some - specifi­
cally, those who plan to stay
in their home for a relatively
short time, say five years or
less. For those buyers, an ad­
justable rate mortgage (ARM)
may be the way to go. This is
especially true if the margin
between the adjustable and
fixed rate mortgage is at least
two percentage points.
Generally. ARMs have a
one or three year starting rate.
After this initial interval, the
lender adjusts the rate period­
ically to keep it in line with
prevailing mortgage interest
rates. To protect buyers dur­
ing periods of turbulent inter­
est rates, most ARMs feature
a cap on the extent to which
the rate can increase.
Among those who may
benefit from the lower start­
ing rate of a three-year ARM
are first lime buyers. Their
main goal may be to conserve
cash during those first years
of home ownership. Cash con­
servation is among the great­
est benefits of an ARM.

who made the cookies smile.
They loved the look of the
cookies so much that it was
almost too hard to eat any,”
said Emily Holland of the
DIY Kids.
The DIY Kids had a
meeting following the fun.
They discussed the tomato

begin knitting practice so
they can start knitting a
teddy bear project.
On Jan. 21. the DIY

everyone. They finished their
