An older member without a real financial instituion was paying $446/month for his older vehicle.  We lowered his payment by $200/month, and since he wants to purchase a home in the future, we gave him a small credit card so that he could establish some revolving credit.  He was very thankful that we could help him work towards a brighter financial future.  So are we!
