| Use equity for friend with credit-card debt? Be careful
My friend has several credit-card accounts totaling more than $35,000 in debt. My friend has a steady, well-paying job. But the debt-to-income ratio is too high for the banks, so a personal loan could not be approved and tapping into home equity is out of the question. I have considered using my home-equity line of credit to help, but am very concerned about putting myself into that situation. It's a close friend, but someone whom I have known only for a couple of years. I'm also concerned about how this might appear to family and other friends. I do trust my friend and I want very much to help. I am looking for advice that will really help my friend and still keep me in a financially good position. _ Dan Dear Dan, Your intuition was right on when you became concerned about risking your home and financial well-being to help a close friend.

Jackson Breaks Down the Finals
They're extremely talented and skilled and I think Schneider's playing on top of his game, which makes them pretty balanced. "They're a good puck-control team, which is the best defense." Jackson said that playing against Michigan State can be frustrating, which is also how many people would describe playing against the Irish. "The biggest challenge will be, the way Michgian State plays, they're extremely balanced, they're extremely strong defensively," Jackson said. "As long as Boston College doesn't get frustrated and impatient with the puck, they can have success. But generally high-skilled teams get impatient when they don't get a chance to carry the puck into the zone. They're going to have to make the decision at times to dump it in." When the Irish played BC, Eagles captain Brian Boyle was still playing forward.
