Because in reality most people/families live month-to-month.

Basically it comes down to this – I don’t care what the house costs, just tell me what it costs per month (that’s all that really matters for most).

For all of those people who yearn for the financial values of yesteryear, you are fighting a loosing battle.

This downturn is only temporary – and I guarantee you the financial engineers will engineer a way out of this mess one way or another.

I would not bother fighting the system, just use it to your advantage within reason.
