Borrowers should feel confident in their ability to
absorb higher monthly payments in the event of a temporary loss of work or other financial hardships.
For most, they'll have no choice but to
absorb the higher monthly payment or look at a less expensive vehicle.
One way to
absorb a higher monthly payment is to cut your spending in other areas of your life.
«Forget about adjustable rates altogether unless you have sufficient financial stability that you could
absorb a higher monthly payment if your timetable doesn't pan out,» McBride said.
