We see people coming in who say, So what! We'll just let the home go. We
don't have anything in it anyway
said a spokeswoman, who has been a mortgage and consumer loan counselor

This change in attitude helps explain why there is a subprime mortgage
crisis and why banks
who analysts say made credit too easy, way too easy, for too many have had
to set aside billions of dollars
in reserves to cover potentially bad loans. Yes that is B for Billions in
bad loans!
It was not long ago it used to be that people who owned homes would make
it a priority to pay the mortgage.
They didn't want to lose their home or forfeit the down payment or equity
they'd built up,
there was also a very real stigma as being a deadbeat in the family and
neighborhood, something
that was once prized and honored has gone the way of the 5 cent cup of coffee.
