waiting for bottom
ParticipantLet me join the no sympathy train here too….they gambled and lost.
I hear you TG….we have about $20k of income and I have high BP and sleepless nights over the $450k mortgage we took on this year. OK, OK so I put in a pool too but still…I would NEVER buy a $1.5M house on my income. But I’d love to be over in the Bay Collection…

Participantthe guy looks way out of shape and ready for a heart attack. just kind of soft and beat down and crazy, like a compulsive gambler who hit bottom. the whole thing is so depressing. Why not just run stories about people who lose a couple hundred k at pechanga? it’d be about the same. one detail I was struck by was the custom brick pizza oven in the kitchen. that’s a nice feature that never occurred to me; but clearly these people are eating too much damned pizza if they are even thinking about a custom pizza oven. still, looking at the comments on the article at pe.com, and here, i’m wondering if we are too harsh. maybe the attitude toward people like him should be the same as toward compulsive gamblers. it’s like a sickness. should get treatment.

ParticipantMaybe you are right scardey and it’s a sickness, the same goes for some stock traders and other forms of investment/gambling. The only difference is vs. lets say someone with a substance abuse problem is that many of the amatuer r/e moguls and stock traders is that when things are going well, they get on your nerves, they brag and they throw money around, pretend to be something they are not and criticize those of us who are more prudent. Cycles always cycle, tables always turn, and they want help or pity when it happens, but we plodders, we piggies got no pity when we were getting priced out. Maybe that makes you a better man, when the choice is to be right or to be kind you choose to be kind, good for you, I’m still deciding how I feel but pity isn’t an option just yet. I haven’t evolved just yet, my wounds are still fresh and dudes like this caused them and are now costing me. Guess who is paying his electric bill, the other ratepayers, I’ve never had my own pizza oven or ranch, that kinda chaps my hide.
There is treatment available, it’s called books, he should start with the wealth of nations, a little invisible hand should cure him of his ills, doing big boy things without a big boy education, all science and no philosiphy, just never ends well.
