Ok, I admit it, I am bitter. But why shouldn’t I be? As Temeculaguy put it, I should be able to afford the kind of house she is advertising, but now I can’t, because I refused to buy with an option ARM, and now the prices are too high for conventional financing. I seriously have no idea how this is all going to shake out; anyone who says they do is fooling themselves. All I have left is the hope that I can pick over Dina’s skeleton or other’s like hers in a few years and actually afford the house I want. Unfortunately Dina has to die first.
