[quote=mercedes7]I rarely post here, but your repeated nasty (“blow me”) comments to any of the posters that disagree with your plan and call you out for your nonchalant attitude struck me wrong.
My point is not to berate you, but to get you to stand back and realize that attacking people who don’t agree with you and your choices is insulting and immature.[/quote]
I only responded with “blow off”, not “blow me” to those personally attacking me and my situation. In my main post I was asking for financial advice, and took offense to someone berating me. Blow off and blow me are very different, and display a vast difference of maturity. I have not attacked anyone, just asked people not to be mean. I truly listen to those posts that disagree me, but in an intelligent manor.
Believe me, I have not reached this decision lightly, and wouldn’t have thought of it over two year’s ago. Reading and seeing what the banks have done to this country has made me mad.
When I bought 6 year’s ago I was sadly not as informed as I am today. I truly thought I was buying a house as a longer term investment for my family. If I knew then what I’ve learned since, I would have thought differently. I don’t mean selling at the peak price, but even buying to begin with. 2003 was about 2/3rd the way up the parabolic rise, I thought I would buy before the peak.
What I should have done, was gotten an adjustable loan that I would not have been able to afford, then let the government bail me out. I’m at a point that I can’t be bailed out of a bad decision, so I’m choosing another route.
