I really really really want to buy, soon

[kev374]

Mark Holmes, there are many people who make major life decisions (such as purchase of a home) without any due diligence. I know someone who paid $5000 over MSRP for a Toyota Corolla because the salesman told her it was a “good deal”, when they are selling all over the place for $200 over invoice. Shopping for stuff by “monthly payment” has become the American way.

Here is proof that there are fiscally ignorant people around:

Ouch. Read it. That breaks my heart. You know, I try and tell the people I know what’s going on, because I don’t want to see them financially ruined from decisions like the one in that article, but most people don’t listen. Or perhaps they listen only to their desires and to the mainstream media, which has ceased doing its job the last 10 – 15 years. And it’s only going to get uglier for these people in 2008, as this credit bubble really starts to unravel. I mean, how few people making financial decisions bother to read the Finanical Times, the NY Times, the LA Times, peruse blogs and basically try to get an overall sense of where things are headed before making a financial decision like buying a house? I mean, really, read just a few articles to get a sense of things:

Mark Holmes: My friend, you and I are on the same page. I am absolutely stunned every month when the sales figures come in and I see how many people are still buying homes in bubble markets. But a case(s) in point are the people who show up on this board each month asking if XXXX price in XXXXX neighborhood is a good deal because they are ready to buy. Have they been hiding under a rock or do they just not believe that there is a housing bubble and the air is leaking out of it?
