Here’s my thought on it. I paid off my property, built my house without going into debt and own all of it free and clear because my family gave up several years of comfort to avoid thirty years of debt. Can I get a $10 thousand dollar gift from the government for exercising better judgment than people who borrowed past their means? I’m just asking. Since the government is forking over billions, trillions, why not give us all $10,000, or a million, or a billion, because that is what we will need to feed a family of four for a year. Seriously, how much will it take for all of us to vote for Democrats and think PC?
well you are a very lucky person that even just giving up luxuries for a few years paid for a new home. Most people don’t have that kind of money.
I am dealing in the mortgage and forclosure industry everyday and let me tell you that it is not just a case of deadbeats.
People have lost their jobs!!!!!! it doesn’t matter if their mortgage was 200k or 20k, they can’t pay a mortgage when there is no money coming in and aren’t any jobs!
maybe you can tell i live in michigan, where we have been living in a deep recession for a few years now.
I am sure that quite a few of these forclosures are from people who wanted to live outside theirs means but lets get real....most have been forced into this situation without any bad decisions made on their part.
These mortgage companies SENT MONEY BACK to homeowners who tried to pay their back payments in full. whats up with that? doesn’t it seem as though the mortgage companies should have been more than happy to take one off their books?
