Mortgage Mess

Ma, people go around financially clueless, spend hand over fist what they don't have, then whine when the bills come due.

Greed made this mess. The greed of the lenders who gave dubious mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. The greed over borrowers who knew down deep they couldn't afford that big house. Keeping up with the Jones sucks, kids.

They don't call a hard on a Jones for nothing.

If you say my desert hovel you'd laugh. But it's paid for, dry, and cool.

Commercialism is fucking us over in more ways than one. We're programmed to buy, buy, buy, and we're encouraged to dig ourselves a debt grave big enough to bury a bus full of Elvi.

If you don't need it to get through a day and a night, you don't need it.
