Mortgages - A Sad Joke

-The dream of the older generation was to pay off a mortgage. The dream of today's young families is to get one.
-There is no longer a need for the neutron bomb. We already have something that destroys people and leaves buildings intact. It's called a mortgage.
- If you think no one cares you're alive, miss a couple of house payments.
- This country is great. It's the only place where you can borrow money for a downpayment, get a 1st and 2nd
mortgage and call yourself a homeowner.
- Home is where the mortgage is.
- The house was more covered with mortgages than with paint.
- Housebroke--What you are after buying a house.

Funny but also sad to think how dependent we've become on other people's (bank's) money and how little most people know about it! I really wish that basic financial education including purchasing a home, a car, personal loans & credit cards would become part of high school education.
