I'm pretty sure they wanted to make you fell sorry for this family but they had taken out a $50,000 variable rate second mortgage out in California to do God knows what, and their rate is scheduled to bloom to 12% next year and they said they couldn't do it. The also have run up $40,000 of creditcard debt and have defaulted on two of them, and have two vehicles, a new Toyota 4Runner and a fairly new Minivan. He's a teacher and she';s a hairdresser????? So what's wrong with this picture? Why should we have any sympathy for this family at all who is living a $100,000+ lifestyle on $60,000/yr |
Could they be living beyond their means...maybe just maybe?
Why should everybody else have to pay for their lack of fiscal displine?
Good post Btw Zoomie...We get it but there is a ton of people who don't get it.
