Report shows strategic defaults increasing

Just another reason not to worry about what other people have or don’t have. We are supposed to assume the haves( young guy with a couple hundred thou saved up) are somehow improved members of the species(I know they think they are), yet time and time again we see how many of them work the system, whore themselves, or take blood money to get there. What Bill is doing is so average. His vehicle is a little different is all. Maybe it’s all he’s got.

It’s not that I’m so concerned about what others have or don’t have. But when it starts to impact me, then that bothers me.

Yesterday on KPBS they were talking about Obama being down at Wall St. and pushing this new regulation. They interviewed some Wall St. guy there and he said something to the effect that they don’t need a parent telling them what to do.

Okay. If you don’t need a parent telling you what to do, then take your lumps when you screw up. Don’t come running to mom and dad for help when you’re in trouble.

See, doesn’t matter to me what people do, as long as the deal w/their own problems and I don’t have to help them. But the problem is now so big that we all have to help them.

How can I provide an analogy? If someone is a drug addict and asks for money for treatment and instead buys more drugs, well then I have a problem w/it. Then don’t ask me for money.

Arraya I don’t think there will EVER be a perfect system, I don’t even think there will ever be a good system! Jeez when we were teenagers we would make some scratch by doing yardwork and weeding. We would go to the store by tons of weedkiller, use it, fill the containers back up with water and return them. So because the hardware stores had a f’d up system, that justified our actions? We should get away with it because we could get away with it? The hardware stores were making tons of money anyways by taking advantage of dopey consumers and selling them all crap they didn’t need so that makes it okay?

Fortunately we grew up and looking back we realized we were aholes and acting purely in our own self interest and if everyone in society did that things would really suck.

I agree, but as scaredycat posted, the truth is that we all judge ourselves relative to others. As social animals, we cannot live disconnected from the people around us.

In some respect, Bill is doing everyone a favor. He didn’t do anything illegal; and he didn’t even violate the mortgage contract. Bill exposed a flaw in the system and we would be wise to remedy that flaw.

I actually believe that a Realtor or a businessman who takes his wife to dinner and writes the expense off as a meeting with a client is committing a much worse sin of greed. It’s illegal; and it’s amoral to let greed drive you for such a small amount.

jpinpb, I understand your feelings. But don’t like your desire to buy a house and the lack of inventory frustrate you.

Sit back and relax; and it’ll all work out in the end. Prices will return to equilibrium sooner or later.

I’ve gotten to a point that when I order something online, I don’t bother to track the package anymore. I get it when I get it. My brother, on the other hand, wants it right away.
