About 2 years ago my husband and I were approached and encouraged to buy a house. We explained that we could not afford a house at this time. 'They' then showed us numerous ways that we could afford to buy a house, but we stood firm explaining that while 'they' could change and rearrange all the numbers we still made exactly the same amount of money. We chose to be responsible and live within our means. So at this point in time we can only assume that we will be receiving a check any day now from our government rewarding us for being responsible, since our tax dollars are helping out all those people who chose not to be. We appreciate this more than you know, because while we still live within a budget it is becoming harder and harder for us to so in this failing economy which I doubt will be much better when you finish throwing money at companies who have already proven that they cannot be responsible with it.

Sing in Sister! Right there with you.
Seriously?!?!? People actually came up to you wanting to give you a mortgage? That's insane!! Who were they? Was just anybody giving out mortages?
And yes, I agree that there should be something there for people struggling to live within their means that didn't make bad decisions. While I think that collapse should be avoided, there should be more of a focus on responsibility.
Yep, numerous people. Crazy, isn't it?
