i'm not sure how all the selling mortgages to the bank part works, but notice how there is very little mention of people's personal responsibility?

if you can't afford a $200,000 house ...... DON'T BUY ONE!

if you can't afford the monthly payment for a 30-yr fixed loan ...... DON'T GET AN ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE!

i thank the idiots living larger than they can afford.

we were offered to borrow up to $400,000 when we applied for a mortgage when looking for our next house. guess what? we're not going to mortgage even 1/3 of that. even crazier, i have actually SAVED a lot of money towards a nice down payment. amazing!
