ParticipantThis story bothered me, but now like you. I mean how do you go from being a loan processor to living in your car? Did you not save any money and just spend it all? Do you have to live in Santa Barbara, more expensive than San Diego? These are choices people make. Very bad ones. I must be some kind of unsympathetic bitch, but come on. What did she do before she was a loan officer? I mean, she’s 67. It’s not like some guy out of high school who just got a job as a loan officer and shot his wad of money b/c he doesn’t know better. Also, she has 3 grown kids. They can’t help her, put her up?

ParticipantI agree, it’s hard for me to feel sorry for her. I’ve known people that have made financial mistakes every month for their entire adult lives (decades on end), and it’s their own fault if they never learn from them.
I like to think of my financial well-being as a game. To win, I have to make good decisions every single day.

ParticipantIt seems that she has other options if she is willing to move away from Santa Monica. Her social security goes with her anywhere, and there are other more affordable places where she can make 8 bucks an hour. She could also consider living in senior housing that has a lower rent – I think her biggest barrier is insisting on staying in Santa Monica – is she still hoping for the glamour and perceived riches of that location? It is a sad story, and I believe a lot of lives will have been temporarily ruined by the greed of the entire system that caused this, but I don’t feel as sorry for this person because I do believe she has other options then living in her car.
