The Rolling Jubilee

I agree it just bothers me that a lot of these guys think this could never happen to them, they're smarter than that, etc...

For the last 50 years you bought a house, made ends meet and gained equity, houses went up in value, you sold, used your equity to upgrade and so on.

It pisses me off when these kids that were probably still in High school think they would have seen the crash coming and would have somehow avoided it and somehow I fucked up and should have known better.

To be fair you bought a house in Detroit and even babies born with their brains outside their skulls know better than that. I mean Jesus, man--were there no vacancies in Newark or Cleveland?

Oh, well if Dax Shepard is from there then it must have been an intelligent decision to purchase real estate. My bad.

I take most of the responsibility, I made some bad decisions but tried my best.
My family talked me into buying as big of a house as I could because they believed it was a sure way of making money.

I went out and bought a 155k brick ranch with 5k down. The loan guy told me to lie and say I make 60k a year even though I made like 38k.

I racked up some credit card debt like a dummy going out to eat too much, drinking in bars, dating etc...

Got a second mortgage to pay off the cards, my family biz was going under and we sold it. Found myself unemployed, went overseas for work, was supposed to have a nice job waiting for me when I returned, it didn't happen.

Got ill/ hospitalized, racked up 38k in hospital bills, started putting mortgage payments on credit card, etc....

Lost it all.

Now I'm back in college at 40 years old starting over.

You guys are right. This was big business and capitalism that caused all of his problems. He was a victim of the system and it wasn't his fault.

Don't know why the man's shirt says "the poor" when the group of people who were actually "the poor" hardly participated in the housing market anyway. Also nobody in their right mind puts all the blame on homeowners, just some of it.

This was a middle class buttfuck, thank you very much.

Generally disagree with the methods of the OWS movement. However, this is a program that is actually pretty cool.
