  1. No sympathy here. If some moron does something like that, they deserve what happens.

    I make about 200k a year. You won't see me buying a 10 million dollar home any time soon. Why?

    Because I have a fucking brain.

    These people pop up on the news every now and then, and the media always paints them as victims. I'm sick of it.

    And this:

    Then learn English, moron! If I go to try to get a loan in Brazil, do I get to go in there and complain I don't speak the language?
     
  2. "...Rancho Grande was only trying to help the two families buy the home they wanted"

    I feel all warm and fuzzy.
     
  3. Lol.. The photo is priceless. No sympathy here. Lazy bugger hasn't even taken his Xmas decoration down.

    Maybe he doesn't know what it says :)

  5. LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN
    ´CAUSE I´M GOING TO STRAWBERRY FIELDS
    NOTHING IS REAL
    AND NOTHING TO GET HUNG ABOUT
    STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

    LIVING IS EASY WITH EYES CLOSED
    MISUNDERSTANDING ALL YOU SEE
    IT´S GETTING HARD TO BE SOMEONE
    BUT IT ALL WORKS OUT
    IT DOESN´T MATTER MUCH TO ME

    LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN
    ´CAUSE I´M GOING TO STRAWBERRY FIELDS

    Bitchslap the RE/Mortgage broker.
    Kick the buyer (hard) in the arse.
    And feed his lawyer to the lions.
     
  7. The WaMu rep in the story says "as a rule of thumb people shouldnt pay more than 1/3 income for housing"


    Thats still way too fucking much. Yah dope.

    Why catch a city bus when limo is available....oooops! or is it the other way round.

    i have seen smarties buying a $100 bike to go around places, skipping the city bus charge also plus getting badly needed exercise. different strokes for different folks.
     
  9. So with 14k income/year, how much house can he afford to buy using the 1/3 income for housing. I'm guessing around a 60k house. 60k in California won't get you a cracker jack box.
