   I was one of those.

   I screwed up my payment in February and accidentally scheduled it to clear for the next month.

   Has there been any analysis of whether this crisis has actually benefited new home-owners; i.e. has the drop in housing prices more than offset the increased cost and difficulty in acquiring a mortgage (rates are actually increasing despite fed cuts)? Personally, I’d be interested to know.

   @iMe2: I got lucky… I was relocated and the company took care of everything…

   @Bladefist: Yeah, just more bad news to shake up the stock market and lower my 401(k)

   Looking on the (somewhat) bright side, it’s a good time to work in the collections department!

   Oh yeah, and it’s all the consumer’s fault!
