Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Getting all whiney and calling it "heartless" is even more unproductive.
Some people have never lost everything with no hope of getting it back so they are clueless.
Did you miss the part where I started with an apartment full of furniture and ended up living out of the trunk of my car?
If you are physically and mentally capable of working you are in no danger of "losing everything."
It's just stuff. If it's stuff that you can't get rid of then you don't own it. It owns you.
Yep, you lost stuff.
I’m losing a house, bought on the hardwork of my parents who paid 30 years on that real estate, then my hubby who paid 5 years on his and we’ve been here 10. Losing furniture is tough, I know because ours is going too.
But I’ll tell you what. Instead of getting “whiney” I’ll make a plan. Citibank is being bailed out. They are going to take over Mortages on default. So, I’ll default on my Mortgage. Afterall, YOU said to. Now you can pay for it. And I’m out from under the debt.
Next I’m going to pack what I can and move to North Carolina. I’ll get a job at McDonalds and reap the rewards of your good economy. Section 8 housing, food stamps, daycare for my kids, the whole lot. AND I’m going to tell everyone I know in MI that NC is willing and waiting to do the same for all of us!!!
Wow, thanks! What a fantatic plan! With the 1200.00 I save on mortgage payments every month until they kick me out of the house, I can put into layaway, a plasma tv, new computer, hells bells maybe a nicer car than the 10 year old clunker van I’ve been driving. Have it all delivered to my new home that you’re paying for.
Thank you so much!
I have followed this thread, you are both heartless and not well informed-a bad combination. Fortunately, those of you who sit smugly dishing out bad advice and blaming people for situations beyond their control while give the financial people who caused this mess a pass- will in the end know exactly what nmom and others are talking about and going through. Baby you will walk many miles in her shoes with the economy tanking in a big way-no place is immune. I would be careful wishing bad circumstances and taking obscene pleasure in the suffering of good people in states that you don’t like for political reasons (voted Dem whatever. It has been my experience that what goes around comes around; ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’.. Some call it ‘karma’. Call it what you want, but it does exist.
Get over yourself. Fight Club is one of my favorite movies, pal, but here's a big surprise for you: It's not real life, and you are not Tyler Durden.
