Saying that, this post nails it. Nice job. These people just need to sit back and pay the loan they agreed to. I would wonder just how much of the damage in the housing market is caused by this attitude. Probably not much, but I'd bet it has a bit of influence.

Rents always go up and rarely go down, like house values. Don't understand why people are such short-term thinkers sometimes.

It's ridiculous. If you don't want to make the payments on a $200,000 loan then you shouldn't have taken a $200,000 loan. ACK! AMEN!! It’s ridiculous. If you don’t want to make the payments on a $200,000 loan then you shouldn’t have taken a $200,000 loan.

ACK!

Not surprisingly, these same people have lots of issues in their personal lives. But I also know quite a few people who are very matter of fact about the declining value of their houses. And certainly, no one I know has mentioned walking away from their mortgage. I’m with you – but I know some people who feel victimized by falling housing prices.
