A woman called the Dave Ramsey Show for advice last week; she is a 35 yr old single Mom taxi driver.

She bought a condo with no loan documentation - she said they asked her no questions because she was able to make a down payment with money she had scratched and saved.

Now she cannot afford the condo mortgage, the condo fees alone are $400 a month. She is trying to make the payments by renting the condo for $600 less than her payment. Her son is with her mother.

She is living in the back of her cab.

When Dave said “So you are homeless because the govt gave you a loan for a home” ... and told her to sell the condo and try to arrange a short sale....she tried to mention how high her credit score is! He yelled “You're living in the back of a cab- don't tell me how high your credit score is!” He had to hang up, shaking his head, he was so angry at the whole situation.

I think this is a poster child for the problem with Barney Frank liberal giveaways of OPM.

I did more than shake my head when I viewed that segment.:-(
