You people are amazing. I'm outta here because people just can't see a big problem. Optimism isn't going to pay the morgage, and neither are people coming out of school now with housing prices as high as they are now. But what the heck, as long as you are perfect.

My point was that every one offering you advice has had to deal with the same stuff you are. Many of them have gone through much worse and still come out on top.

If you want to wallow in self pity then so be it. If you would just realize that you're not the first person to have to overcome obstacles to get ahead in life you could probably change your attitude.

Vicitmhood is no way to sell yourself or advance your career. Charging people with being perfect when they call you on this and attempt to help you is just further evidence that your attitude is what will hold you back.

Optimism will not pay the mortgage but is sure as hell will put you in a position to compete for the opportunities that will get you where you want to be.

Yes, housing prices are terrible, I had to pay 2000 dollars more for my latest 2BR/1BTH than my Mom and Dad paid (6500.00) for theirs back in 1953.

Of course, I have to fix it up and put another 20K in it (work starts in 2 weeks) also shopped for about 12 months before we found it and bid on it. But hey color me optimistic. I have bought many homes and buildings for less than most folks pay for a new car.

It is done every day, just because the sheeple are herded into bad purchases does not mean that the rest of us can not prosper.

You got to decide, are you a grazer or a hunter?
