Ah, the new American Dream! keep in mind, there are more than a few people out there who did not bite off more than they could chew, but had their asses chewed off by a failed economy and job market.
I don’t think those are the people having invective sent their way, I certainly don’t feel that way towards my ex neighbor who left an eyesore next to me. He just couldn’t make the mortgage due to his circumstances.
It is the people who trumpet this as a viable and honorable strategy when you aren’t in those poor circumstances.
Screw all of those people, may they rot in Hell.
