Reply #4: "The American Dream of Home Ownership".... [View All]

What a fucking rip-off. I got sucked into one of those "first-time homeowner" programs. After 2 years, I was in a house that I owed 68 kilobucks for, but was worth only about 40 thousand, even though the bank appraisal was for 93 kilobux.

Then I relocated and tried to sell it. after another 2 years of spending $1,200 a month for shelter (one of which I wasn't using) I fianlly lost the place. Now I rent, and I don't mind "throwing away" $425 a month, because you know what? My mortgage was almost 700 fucking dollars every month, and I got SHIT to show for THAT, too.

Plus it'll be easier for my daughter to pay the damages from having to remodel the place after I've lain dead in the bathroom for 5 weeks than it would be for her to unload a house with the same problem (Psychic Faults is what I think they call it).

To me, "Equity" is the name of an Actor's Union.
