Participant“If you can’t do basic math maybe you shouldn’t own a house.
How does it make you feel to know she might have worked with Carriers/Destroyers/Submarines/Missiles/Bombs/Aircraft… may be even Nukes?”
There is training and there is intelligence. Just because the military trains you well, doesn’t mean you’re smart. But then again, she was an officer….I think this once again illustrates that there is a portion of the population that is ignornant of basic finance issues.

ParticipantQuote below from the Caine Mutiny. Old roomate was a navy officer who said this still captures things perfectly:
“The first thing you’ve got to learn about this ship is that she was designed by geniuses to be run by idiots. This is the engine room. To operate, all you need is any group of well-trained monkeys. Ninety-nine percent of everything we do is strict routine. Only one percent requires creative intelligence.”

ParticipantI am confused on why she didn’t use the VA loan if she was in the NAVY. Last time I checked you could have 417K of VA loan. Almost no down payment and fixed, low interest rates. Why??

Mortgage broker used to be a respected occupation, now its rank at the same level with used car salesperson. But we as the customer has the final responsibility, read the fine print, ask questions, ask your peer, ask your butcher, get second opinion on everything from buying a blender to get a heart transplant.

ParticipantWhich used car salesman can do this to a Navy Officer:
"I feel like my life is ruined,” she said in an interview, wiping away tears.
More like pimps and slavetraders.

no tears tho? not funny enough? bummer…
the article (and all the others like it) are just so fcking smarmy. everything in that article was manipulated perfectly, all prior complaints from people who pointed out fraudsters made those news editors think long and hard about how and who they wanted to make the poster child of this mess. and thereby elicit favor for a bailout.
ranking military. sd loves it some military. a clean and decent woman. skilled and employed in a tech company…
2k a month??? how shitty is that? what drugs, even with a partner, what drugs do you take to think that 2k/month can hold up a 400k mortgage?
