Participant[quote=AN]How can you live for free and be a mortgage slaves at the same time? Also, there’s nothing wrong with renting. Many of these people probably shouldn’t have been able to buy in the first place. So, there’s no change for them.[/quote]
Because they are living for free now, while the bank strings them along to an eventual outcome of short sale or REO that send them back to renting. The others may do a loan mod w/crazy terms and the remaining keep paying in the hopes they will see higher than peak prices soon. The latter two are the true mortgage slaves.

Participant[quote=AN]People who refinanced themselves into debt are actually loving this “American Dream”. How else can they would have bought all of those stuff?[/quote]
And many are living for free. But eventually will be back to renting b/c of their indulgence and/or become mortgage slaves.Participant[quote=AN]People who refinanced themselves into debt are actually loving this “American Dream”. How else can they would have bought all of those stuff?[/quote]

I did many hours of searching for something different beyond the usual made in China lights at Home Depot, Lowes, Lamps Plus, etc.
If any of you are interested in some unique light fixtures, try Vintage Barn Lights or Barn Light Electric.

ParticipantRevising my list. I’ve seen Jenn-Air is now made in China.
I have been continuing to try to buy American or at least not MIC during my remodel. I found some really nice pulls for my kitchen cabinet that were made in Italy online.
I was looking for some cabinet pulls for my linen cabinet, but HD and Lowes were all MIC. I was in OB one weekend and stopped in one of the antique stores there, thinking maybe they have something for cabinets. The lady that worked there said that they rarely have those any longer b/c easy to sell on Ebay.
So this started my search on craigslist in the antique section. I’ve been scoring on some great items, many Made in the USA. And the quality and durability is impressive. Found the cutest cermic knobs.
Also, I’m adding this to this thread b/c I have been searching everywhere for some cool lights. I’ve checked HD, Lowes, Lamps Plus, etc, etc. Pretty much all MIC. I stumbled upon this while looking for some old park benches for my back yard. And then did some more research.
Vintage Barn Lights and Barn Light Electric. They have some really cool lights. The VBL restore old Benjamin gas station lights. BLE have vintage and also replica lights made in the USA and even some cool ceiling fans.
I ended up buying some gas station light hoods on craigslist. The guy selling them said he got them from an abandoned warehouse/factory in Tennessee. How’s that for a sad and twisted irony. A real piece of Americana history.
I probably am going to get some more of these for the back yard.
If you’re looking for something different than the usual MIC stuff found at the typical retail stores, this is an option to consider. Get them while you can.
