While I don’t owe any debt and pay off my credit card bill in full why are banks so stupid to give credit cards and home loans to just about anyone?

Part of the reason so many banks have gone under is because they were stupid to loan money to people who didn’t desrve the loans.

If someone wants to buy a flat pannel TV for $2,000 why can’t people save money in an envelope for a year or 2 until they have the cash to in fact buy the $2000 TV? Most people won’t end up paying the bank for the money they borrowed to buy a TV?

Why do people who have a household income of $40,000 per year buy houses for $600,000 on loans. Shouldn’t the bank have realized that a couple with a houshold income of $40,000 can’t meet the deprivation of to make the payments on a $600,000 home.

Why should we the taxpayers bail out these banks when they made terrible loan decisions?

People need to realize to live withing their means.

Enough is enough! Banks need to get austere again on who they loan money to.

I’m trying to apply for student loans, but my parents don’t want to cosign because they don’t want anyone checking their credit score. Which makes significance because apparently your credit score goes down a small every time someone checks it. Do financial institutions (banks, credit unions, private orgs like Sallie Mae) always run a credit check on a loan cosigner, or are there some that don’t?
