Well, I'm revolting.

I'm short-selling my house, and if that doesn't work, I'm just walking away. It pisses me off, here in Arizona, our home prices are plummeting to half of what they were when we bought them, and instead of doing something to stabilize home prices (such as bailing out the homeowners, or doing mortgage debt forgiveness), the government giving out billions of dollars for new cars and new refrigerators!!! WTF???

Well, even though I have always had perfect credit, I decided.....screw this. If the banks can get away with screwing those of us who were responsible and took out good loans at prices and rates we could afford.....and the government does nothing to help those of us in the middle class who were responsible but are now losing all the value of our homes...then why should I stay and keep paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars on a house that is now worth half of what I paid for it 3 yeas ago?

I'll tell you this now, Arizona is going to become a "financial disaster area" within a year.


It's the only way I can revolt....by getting up and walking away from my debt. They screwed me....so I have no qualms about screwing them now. Boy, have I changed these last few years. I never would have considered walking away from a loan before. At least they have the house for collateral, and Arizona is a non-recourse state, which means they cannot come after me for the deficiency.

The values of the homes in my neighborhood are now HALF of what they were a few years ago. Foreclosures are now starting to pop up all over the area, and lots of businesses are empty now, too.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

I saw a program on Arizona and how us Canadians are flocking down there and buying up these properties.

Million dollar homes for a couple of hundred thousand. If I had the money I'd buy one. If things turn around there will be a few people who are going to make a boat load of dough.

I'm starting to lose track of who all the enemy is now. If I revolt it would be hard to know who else is on my side. Odd times we live in.

If I started to name all the groups that might have a grudge against me I don't know if I could include them all. So, who is who in the revolution?

Someone must have started a thread on that already.

I am {edit for TMI}

Who exactly is my enemy again?

I wouldn't take my Canadian dollars and use them to buy property next door to a failed narco-state. My brother-in-law has a couple lots with electric hook-ups for his camper down by Yuma, and likes to go there for the winter. My sister won't go there anymore. I wouldn't spend one night down there. The drug wars are too close for comfort!

Big government and it's propaganda machine, the MSM.

At least that is where I will be channeling my outrage.

They are organized and powerful like a hill of red ants. They own the power and the information.

I can only hope when the time comes that I am able recognize the friendlies.

I like your revolution meter. I was always kinda partial to this one, myself.

I guess that is as close as I get to a "Can't we all just get along?!!?" moment.

We're gonna need some hats. That way we can tell everyone apart.



I think it would really help.
