I also admit somewhat of relief to learn that my credit union didn't dabble in mortgages. They make car loans - which could turn out to be bad enough - but at least they weathered the foreclosure mess OK.

(Of course, I tend to ignore what the interest levels are, see below:) Of course, that could change.
