Sorry davelj, there’s no way around it…those of us who tried to do the responsible thing are most definitely chumps, and they rub it in our faces every day — like with this announcement about principal reductions.[/quote]
If you feel like a chump, then so be it. I can’t change the way you feel. I, however, do not. I take the long view – and I feel sorry for these financial dipshits. Now, I’d rather not be bailing them out – let’s be clear – but in the whole scheme of things… life goes on. Living well is the best revenge if you’re feeling like a chump. I guess EVERYONE’s been victimized in this crisis: borrowers (by irresponsible lenders), lenders (by irresponsible borrowers), renters (by irresponsible lenders and borrowers), etc. etc. How convenient for everyone… everyone gets to claim victim status (well, except for Goldman Sachs… and they’re trying!).
