I agree...I had to move from the apartment I was renting because they wanted to increase my rent by $250 and I can't afford $1750 a month for a 2 bedroom apt when my benfits won't cover it!

Jayne...I think it depends on what part of the country you live in and what your circumstances are. Hubby and I pay less for our mortgage and home than my daughter pays to rent an apartment. Alot depends on when you bought your property. I am tight. I will admit it. Glad I am. It doesn't affect me to have to do without. I have a roof over my head, food on the table and a wonderful family. If I can't buy a new coat this winter, no sweat I have one that works. I feel for those who can't make ends meet. I spent over half of my adult life like that. I am praying for all. Babe.....Best of luck.

could be ......we had our garden to get us thru the WC years we would have went hungry without that I am sure...then God just seems to put things where I need them......This year garden didnt do so well no one here did so not many canning jars were bought I got them less than half of what they were costing I hope next year is better...The chicken is running low so another chicken truck in our area needs to roll over....lol...We are blessed we might not have liked what was on the table but we never went hungry.......Got mighty tired of beans there for awhile tho

This article published in the "news" section on this site explains the "reality" of the AIG breakdown and how it works. Should bring comfort to all you AIGers:

I'm in California, and I have tried to qualify for a mortgage loan but they are telling me that since I am a "liability" with income from work comp (annuity) and social security and am a major risk...and with this market BS of course no one wants to give me a loan...rents in the Bay Area suburbs are outrageous...they are taking advantage of people left & right!
Thanks Chris for the article!
