No, I did not say that.
Kurt, thanks for the reply - I figured you weren't, but wanted to be sure.

I donN"t understand why a gold digger can marry a guy for a few years and after to agreeing to stay with him N4until death do us partN! break the contract (to move in with her personal trainer) and take half the guys assets…
FAB,
It is because the men of the US (and California in particular) are completely asleep at the wheel when it comes to paying attention to family law and the implications of changes in same laws. No-fault divorce is a prime example.
Men in the US are so caught up in the treadmill of success (aka. competing like crazy against their brethren for the honor of banging one supermodel before they die) that they completely forget to pay attention to what is happening to their rights in society as a whole.
Here's the big question: Do you think that either the democrats or the republicans are going to make family law and marriage contracts more equitable?

There is major risk to invest in equity in the downfall market but if you want, some more price money than get it with the help of equity.

Equity Loans
All that equity....
What a story. First a ridiculously expensive education - the stick that preceeds the carrot - the choice white collar job.....which disappears after all the high-end purchases (including the pricey home, cars and other toys)
...followed by the downsizing, outsourcing, off-shoring and various other corporate creative management tricks....which results in unemployment, underemployment, shrinking wages....
It's simple math: when $80,000 annual is followed up by 5 years of $60,000....it's not that hard to figure out what kicked in the $100,000 of missing income over that time period - the sweet home ATM machine.
These realities....riddle through the population like a plague of locusts let loose in a wheatfield.
When one gazes across America at all those late model cars choking up the endless beltways, parkways - at all those McMansions sprawling across God's little green acres...and all the other various displays of ostentatious wealth - did anyone ever think that WAGE income was paying for all that?
C'mon..............( no doubt there always was a few trillion dollars missing in the equation somewhere or other.)
It never was part of the plan that all that rising house wealth would just sit put safely tucked away. Our brains aren't constructed that way.
It's an old, old game - just superimposed on new realities.

From a reader:
This is pretty amazing. After the biggest runup in prices ever, owners managed to blow all of that equity, and then some. And now they've got rapidly declining prices on top of that.
