Going over financial products for hours only to find out the next day that because my credit rating, while actually being pretty solid, isn't in the upper echelons of those who've never had a single financial transgression in their whole life, I don't qualify for the loans I can afford. But I do qualify for loans that would stretch my budget to the limit. Which you would think would be bad since, I don't know, giving people loans they can barely afford pretty much created this whole mess we're in. One would think they'd want to work with terms so the borrower could actually make the payments instead of eventually filing for bankruptcy and not pay them anymore.
