Seriously.

Fuck these pricks. Let's start over.

This is my house. That's your house. I'm good with that.

That's not the attitude I was looking for. This needs to go viral.

If you're born in Dubai a few generations they give you a nice big free house, and there are no such thing as taxes. They don't believe in usury.

Nice eh?

Ya nice. However, I don't live in Dubai. I live here.

We need to revolt against this crap. There needs to be A LOT more backlash against this shit than what I am seeing.

EVERYONE I talk to at work and elsewhere is completely pissed, yet we all feel there is nothing we can do.

If it makes economical sense, then do it.

I agree. If everyone sits back and does nothing we're all just chumps and deserve it.

If just 100 people do it, it won't work though.

If 1000 people do it, that may not work.

If 1 million people do it, obviously that will work.

Nobody on this board knows anybody famous that would go along with this?

I'm actually serious.

It's like Fight Club but realistic and subtle.

Sorry... but, I'm in the sixth year of a 15 year fixed. Too close to the finish line... and I like my pad.

Why would you walk away from a commitment you made?

There is always risk involved in buying a home.

No no. I'm not saying "walk away". Keep the house.

Just stop paying them.

You fuck me. I fuck you back. If they can get away with all this shit for the last 100 years, it's time to to bite back.

Awesome. THis is exactly what I was going to say.

By the way, this part is for the OP. You love to curse. Why do you feel the need to drop an F bomb every other sentence? I'm just curious. I can understand an occassional F bomb. But every other sentence? I've noticed a trend.

As much as I would love to stop paying for my mortgage...there are a whole lot of people not paying their own, for one reason or another...and it's not working out so well. I think I'll keep at it.

not if you live in Philly... foreclosure moratorium, so I am just starting to think about not paying my mortgage. I figure why should I get fucked just because I was smart enough to get a fixed rate mortgage that I could afford instead of a low ARM which ballooned over time....

I can afford to pay my mortgage but why shouldn't I get some kind of incentive for using my brain and not getting a mortgage which was over my head. No, instead, if I was an idiot, taken advantage of, or just came down on hard times, I can refinance at a lower fixed rate even though I've missed payments for months.

Congress passed a $300 billion homeowner bailout in July to help those close to foreclosure refinance.

There's a very good chance that this $700 billion bailout could turn profitable for the government and not cost the taxpayers' a dime.

Considering the alternative, a recession worse than the Great Depression, I think this is a necessary step.

Your incentive is that you still own your home, you have a good credit score that may not help you now but will down the road, and you don't have to deal with the emotional upheaval of being foreclosed upon. Refinancing is very difficult right now. And people like those you are "envying" right now are the entire reason we're in this mess in the first place. What needs to happen is that everyone needs to be able to pay their mortgages, not that everyone stops.

You were smart. Take pride in that fact. The idea that all these people being foreclosed on should be bailed out is ridiculous. That's just Obama misunderstanding the actual problem and instead trying to win votes from the chunk of people that were idiots, as you put it. The current "bailout" is really just the government stepping in and buying up all these mortgages and basically properties and holding them until lending conditions improve and the banks can function properly again. Then they'll sell them at a profit. How much CEO's are paid is irrelevant and not the problem.
