Having left the Mortgage Industry after last summer, I can attest that most people having to the second to last response.
I might feel a little sympathy about your mortgages if you all would sell your goddamned $30,000 SUVs and 2-ton pickups. That’s about all I see on the road these days.
Post, come on, post. Come on!
There. What’s up with this commenting system?
@timmus: This commenting system is just a bit erratic. Just like the quality and spelling of the stories and the quality of the comments. Maybe it should be renamed Consumerraticist?
My wife and I got our debt under control just in time. We aren’t living like kings, but we aren’t getting calls from collectors either. We calculated that, at this pace, our credit cards and ‘stupid debt’ will be paid off within two years.

@forever_knight: What’s up with the comment system? I threw in a (actually relevant to the post) comment a few hours ago and have yet to see it go live.
Well, it is more family friendly than Fleshbot.
Well, there is a lot of pussy* on these pages.
