Well said. ... and thanks for the mention, Joe! I'm a bit surprised you are on the fence with respect to strategic defaults. You seem like the type who would be firmly in the anti-strat-default camp. :-) Best, Len Len Penzo dot Com @Augustine: Bravo! Well said.

Skipping payments, jingle mail, short sale, it doesn't matter, the bank can still go after the difference, even years down the road. "Man up" was, however, the best advise that I've seen in the last 2 years. Besides, I never quite got this idea of walking out of an upside-down mortgage when virtually all new cars are upside-down the moment they're driven out of the dealer's lot. Or, for that matter, virtually everything that's bought, financed or not. The fact is that we need some things to live or to give us a certain standard of living and we, gladly or not, pay for them as a fact of life. Why would a roof over one's head be different? Enough ranting...
