Help, my mortgage payment went from $727 to $1148 a month. - I am a teacher and worked very hard to save 20% down-payment for a house and an acre of land. I payed $128,000 for the house and the land 2 years ago. I got a fixed intrest rate of 3.5%. My taxes are roughly $2000 and my insurance is $1386.
Out of the blue my mortgage company increased the amount needed for escrow (as of this moment my escrow is negative $400). I was told by the company that $1148 is my new monthly payment for the remainder of my 30 year mortgage. This makes no sense as increasing my escrow payment by $400 a month is way more then mathematically seems necessary. Is this legal, can my mortgage company arbitrarily demand a huge increase in my escrow payment.

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
