    Most people don't think about mortgages.

Those same people are the ones who pick a cat loan based on the monthly payment and not their total cost.

I'm still a bit miffed that my last car salesman used the "what monthly payment do we need to make this work" line on me.

    The average auto loan length reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June — up 6.8 percent from five years ago.

It discourages me every time I go to look at vehicles just how true the used car salesman cliches are.

I'd like to meet the person trying to get a loan for a cat. Must be a Serval/Savanah breed.
