After Dinner - The Fortune Cookie - Now What?


Funny image taken from public domain. Rest of the story in letter.

Not that funny when you pause to think about it.

It's downright scary if you consider the reality of the massive debt held by this (one) country.

"Please Mr. China,

Don't foreclose on us. This (debt) is our only home, and we have no where else to go. We didn't mean to get so far in over our heads.

What was I to say when you allowed us such generous amounts of credit? Do you think anyone could pass it up? We love the goods you let us purchase on "terms"- at least we still love the stuff that still works. What about all of the good times we had?

I'd like to sell (unload) my home, but it seems we may owe more on it than it's actual value. Will you consider a modification in terms? Will you consider taking less than what I agreed to pay you (a short sale)? Please don't call in the debt. Please let us slide on the balance? It's not all my fault.

Sam"

Hope everyone takes a few seconds to think about how they manage debt (reduce or eliminate all together) in their own personal lives.

Less debt = better living imo.........

Buying real estate (homes for sale, land for sale) is still one of the best and safest places to take on debt. The cost for mortgage money is still historically low, and in most markets, the dollar buys more today than it has in several years.
