On My Soapbox

As I'm sitting here reading an article from USA Today about foreclosures in Denver, I can't help but to get irritated about people's stupidity towards financial situations. Listen, I know how much money comes in and, as a result, how much I can shell out for clothes, mortgages, etc. That's one lesson my mom taught me well (with her little notebook documenting all her expenditures).

These families getting ejected from there home should have known better in terms of what they can afford. I'm not saying the lenders are innocent, but the ownership of the situation comes down to the individuals who borrowed the money. And sadly, now America, and the rest of the world, is paying for their mistakes.

I'm coming down from my soapbox now...
