No, I was underwater in my home during the Texas real estate crash of the late 1980’s and lost my oil field job. However, I did not go whine about my problem and instead worked as a cabbie and a bartender until my industy rebounded and I kept our home.
Yeah we’ve had this discussion before. It just bothers me when people take joy at other peoples misfortune.
Me too. I was in Texas as well at the time and took a major hit. Hung in there, continued to pay the mortgage and live in the home and sold it twenty years later and still took a 5K loss. Everyone I knew was in the same boat.
