"got to keep with the Jones', no matter the cost"
So I bought a home to keep up with the Joneses? Or did I buy a home because I wanted to plant roots, start a family, and have an investment? For me, it was the latter.
Second, for those of you who may think society made you buy a house, are you willing to share any of the equity you accrue over the term of your mortgage? Or are you only blaming society when it goes poorly?
hotzestor, you are the EXCEPTION, not the rule. I am saying you're right, but far too few people these days behave in that manor. I will do whatever it takes to get me and mine through this crisis. But I see it all around me. People with there hands out already.
And American society IS to blame. Just like Rome fell, brace yourselves it's coming, and there is nothing you can do...
