Guinness, Ireland's dark, velvety meal in a glass, is launching a significantly lighter, blonder version of itself in a bid to try and appeal to American palates. Next month, US beer stores will begin stocking the Guinness Blonde American Lager, pitched as the Americanized version of the iconic Irish stout.
What is a balloon payment? Quite simply, a balloon payment is a lump sum payment that is attached to a loan. The payment, which has a higher value than your regular repayment charges, can be applied at regular intervals or, as is more usual, at the end of a loan period.
A balloon mortgage is a short term, non-amortizing loan available to real estate purchasers. These mortgages typically have lower monthly payments and interest rates and can be easier to qualify for than a traditional 30 year fixed loan plan. Unlike many other mortgages, balloon mortgages do not pay themselves off at the end of the loan term.
