    Good point temecula guy. But I have to admit that these type of sob stories make me mad as well. Who the hell thinks that they deserve to live in a 567k home on 90k a year with “so-so” credit and two car loans!!!???

    My husband and I make a decent amount more than that, no debt except $250/ month student loan payment, good credit, and would not think of getting a loan more than 400k.

    I just get sick and tired of hearing these stories that seem to implicate that we should feel bad for these people and someone should bail them out, ugh!

    Anyways, sorry for the rant. I am an infrequent poster, consistent lurker.

    Yes, I am bitter. These are cry babies, getting media attention.

    “Most Americans want to own a home.” Are you a spoke person for NAR? My point is if you couldn’t afford it don’t buy it. Save your money first then get it afterward. You are confusing want versus need, for instance I want a FERRARI but in reality I just need a reliable car to go to work.

    “Taking the bus is often not a feasible option.” Good point there. Then consider other options. Sell the cars and buy older cars. Check the Craigslist. An older car have cheaper insurance and registration, the maintenance cost is not more as long as you don’t buy a problematic car (such as Ford Pinto) of course driving an older car sucks. Are they thinking about this? Of course not (I don’t see it discuss at all), so they want the cake and………

    “they’re acknowledging their mistakes” Let me ask you this, how many times they mentioned the Mortgage Broker? They’re acknowledging there was a mistake, but it sure was mostly everybody else. And please stop crying to the media, in my dictionary this is called Moron.

    You could call me Snobbish Hick :). It was sarcasm statement about the music lesson. Their priority messed up. My children education (including piano lessons when they get older) is the most important priority. I rather drive a beat up car than have to pull my kid out from something she loves. They still eat out once per month? Why don’t use that money for her instead?

    I am self-righteous, because I don’t have sympathy for this BS? So be it…..Now you on the other hand, make no judgment about other people but place me in self-righteous spot. What do you call that?

    We all should be ok to own or not to own our homes. I am not against homeowner here. However I don’t want to hear you complaining to the media if you take a suicide pill.

    “snail” you sound like someone I know. Are you going to be angry when people cannot afford their rent either. Then get ready to be really angry in the next 10 years,because that’s what is coming when the layoffs start. Very few people are immmune from a depression. Usually only the really rich/really smart make money in a depression. Are you in either of these groups?
