No, I don’t think we’re happy at others’ misfortune. But some of us are indeed happy at our good fortune - at least I am. If you have a problem with that, I can’t help you.

And what would you like me to do instead? Decline the opportunity to buy a home now that it’s finally within my reach? It’s those of us who postponed buying in an overpriced market who are and will be propping up the market when it drops to reality.

If you, for instance, bought an overpriced home and now need to dump it, I’m the guy who’s willing to buy it from you. Without buyers like me, the price would drop even further. So take your lumps, learn a hard lesson, and be glad somebody like me lived for years on beans&rice in a rented shack. Otherwise you’d be even worse off.

Sorry, I musta been confused by your rants about their whining stupidity and missed your happiness at your own good fortune.
