You are going to face years of sh.it credit and if you know the ramifications and live in a state without recourse, you're stupid not to walk.

Again, each set of circumstances is different. It sounds like your friends live modestly and have suffered a setback or two. I wish them well.
Others simply have a lifestyle they know they really can't afford. It's all about instant gratification, why bother to save for anything. These people usually become a burden to us all. It's hard to feel sorry for them.

How many lived a life style they could afford until both lost their jobs and the real estate market collapsed taking away their option of down sizing. I think a
whole lot of this has happened.

I'm not talking about these people. Like I said, circumstances differ. But face it, we all know people that have to have the latest gadgets, new cars, big houses. And they usually buy entirely on credit. Sorry, but they are just a hiccup away from crisis and should know better.
