Well, not ALL of us are riding the American Dream of moving on up.... Some of us had the common sense to realize that the days of easy money and easy credit came at a cost...now it's time to pay the fiddler. I know of a few people who went to Florida when the jobs were plentiful and the money was big....I would imagine they've gone elsewhere now. As for the guy who put a million cash down, and $11,000 payments....hmmm, poor planning in there somewhere. Florida and other areas enjoyed the days of big money, and evidently growth beyond a sustainable level. Hope they had fun while it lasted.... Guess I just find it hard to feel sorry for them.... In many parts of the country,like here in the "poverty belt", those of us left with a job and money in the bank sustained the bad times for 10 years before the rest of the country even saw it coming. We didn't do it by trying to outspend the Jones's, buying houses with inflated prices, or taking out mortgages with adjustable rates.... Feel sorry for them???? Nope, been there, done that, learned from my mistakes and moved on....without government assistance......
