I have no sympathy for those who live above their means. I live in a very nice house because I pay my bills and I am frugal with my money. My house is a 3400 sq. ft. 2 story brick on an acre lot. I owe 49,000 on it and it's worth $250,000 not bad for a Drunk. I have made a lot of money in the last 25 years and speny MOST of it wisely. I guess what i'm saying is that WTF were these people thinking? A manager at McDonalds or whatever place think they could afford a $300,000 mortgage. I think the lenders should be put on the street as well as the bumbass borrowers.
