I get this a lot, “Lots of envious people that hope bad things happens to others so they can benefit.” During many conversations with people from all walks of life, I declared in 2004 (before I was on Piggington) that the financing ponzi scheme was not sustainable in the long term.
I never hope that bad things happen to people, I just try to recognize trends and projections for what they are… Hoping things will happen will not get you far in life. People always say that I hope home prices will come down. That is the furthest thing from the truth. My analysis and research has led me believe that home prices will decline. When I first started my research, I had no emotion about housing. I didn’t make much money and buying a house wasn’t even a thought at the time. During the last three years, things have changed – I can now afford to buy a SFR, but prices are still too high. Things are what they are…hoping is for uneducated, ignorant, amateurs.
