The economy has given all of us something more to worry about recently. The economic news is mostly bad, homes are being foreclosed on, people are losing their jobs, unemployment is on the rise.

If you are worrying about your house being foreclosed, you can take heart that help seems to be on the way. Banks and mortgage lenders are getting tired of increasing their inventory of unoccupied houses for sale. They are willing to go to extraordinary means to keep existing mortgage-holders in their homes.

Can you imagine how awful you would feel if they changed the rules so that you could keep your house? And this happened two weeks AFTER your home was foreclosed on and lost?

You don't have to stand by and watch your house be foreclosed. There are many, many things that you could do to prevent it or slow it down significantly. You need to learn the rules, learn what you can do and should do to prevent foreclosure of your home.

Trying times like these mean increases in tension and anxiety. How will you adapt and cope? What do you do when you cannot afford expensive therapists, analysts and the traditional ways to lower stress?

One popular method to lower stress and anxiety is to learn to crochet. Keeping your hands busy doing something interesting and productive keeps your mind off of useless worrying. When you learn to crochet you can take your crochet work with you wherever you go. Work on it on airplane trips, waiting in the Doctor's office, anywhere!

For many, difficult times means anxiety and putting on weight. You can control your weight economically by using the banana diet. It's easy, cheap and very effective.

How to get a home loan for Spain

Mortgages or home loans (hipotecas) are available from most Spanish banks (for residents and non-residents), foreign banks in Spain, and overseas and offshore banks. In recent years, Spanish and foreign lenders have arranged a record number of spanish mortgages, the average amount borrowed being around 250000

The amount you can borrow depends on various factors such as your income, trade or profession, whether you’re an employee or self-employed, and whether you’re married, and if so, whether your partner works. Lenders may also have a maximum lending limit based on a percentage of your income, but this isn’t required by law.

Most banks offer mortgages of up to 8 per cent, although non-residents can usually borrow a maximum of 60 per cent only. To obtain a mortgage from a Spanish bank, you must usually provide proof of your monthly income and major outgoings (e.g. loans or commitments).

There are no self-assessment mortgages such as in the UK and mortgages without proof of income (although advertised in the expatriate press) are difficult to find and virtually non-existent. If you want a Spanish mortgage to buy a property for commercial purposes, you must provide a detailed business plan in Spanish.

Note that a mortgage can be assumed by the new owner (called subrogación) when a property is sold, which is a common practice in Spain.
