We weren’t making bad choices. The banks chose to lend to us. They were greedy. Giving loans without income proof?
The banks’ greed is to blame for this, and the government’s lack of regulation allowed it.
Is my choice to short sell going to drive up prices and ruin the market? No way. Prove it.
Many people wanted the dream of home ownership, is that wrong? Now I find that I can save thousands of dollars a year by renting instead of owning this house whose value was allowed to fall because of bank’s greed.
Their decisions are financial, never moral; so will my decision be.
That’s all I asked in my post, is it financially feasible and/or responsible. I wasn’t looking for a morality lesson, and certainly not your pity!
Again, thanks to those with advice. For those with snide comments to me or to the realtors here actually offering advice, blow off!
