The reality today is that Americans actually own less of their houses and land than ever.  For the first time in modern history, the total value of all residential mortgage debt far surpasses the total value of all home equity in the United States.

I have no idea what I own, the judge will tell me.

The house, however, is worth less than we owe on the damned place.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

Did you really just quote the worst screechy hippie of all time in what appears to be all seriousness?

More to the point, did you really just do that on the same day you made some snarky comment about being able to come to your own conclusions rather than being trained to think what you think?

Note to the hipster kids: this is what irony ACTUALLY looks like. :lulz:
