Juan,
Missing your mortgage payment will have an adverse effect on your credit. It will make it difficult for you to borrow money to buy other things and will likely impact your future borrowing on another house. But, if you cannot afford to pay your mortgage, that is another thing altogether. You are probably already in trouble. But, don't skip a payment out of convenience.

Make your payment. I will hurt your credit. Borrow money against a credit card...None of us can tell you what to do, but missing with your home or your credit right now...is not a good thing to do.

Good luck,

Why not stop paying altogether? You just bailed out a bunch of foolish banks, a car company, and AIG. What do you have to show for it?

Stop paying your mortgage.
