Work hard or don't work hard?

Liberals keep saying immigrants are superior to whites because they work harder, then they turn around and tell white yuppies they are idiots who have been conned into working so hard by evil capitalists and they are happier digging drainage ditches, picking lettuce or wiping old people's asses for a living.

So which is it? Or is this yet another one of your double standards? If you had to tell everyone in the world to work hard or not work hard what would you tell them?

You see, that's where you're failing.  You don't even believe that it's possible to obtain a home in the USA for $100K.  I assure you, it certainly is.  In many coastal areas, it seems impossible ... but the average income is pushed upward similarly, so it returns to possibility.  HOWEVER, the average size of the American home has nearly doubled, so you can see what has really happened here -- people have been buying more home than they could really afford.

The point I'm trying to make is that you should not buy outside 2.5 times your income.  If too many homes in your area are above that, then you should leave the area ... or rent ... since the alternative is just to rent a home from a bank until the financial circumstances of your life go bad (which over 30 years of most mortgages, is LIKELY) and you're forced into foreclosure or extended mortgaging.

It SHOULD be a basic financial truth that you should NOT buy the most expensive thing in your life on nearly 100% credit terms.  Paying the highest possible cost of credit is the very definition of stupid.
