Like most everything with the youngsters, they got to have it right now, can't wait, put it on the cuff.

I use to see these young kids with big houses, a car or two, a big diesel pickup, motorcycles, UTV, maybe a boat, and a toy-hauler. I can't believe all of these kids are independently wealthy, or have two 6 digit plus incomes. A guy I used to work with had all that stuff, and bought another house. The idea being to keep it for a short while, and then selling it for a lot more than he paid for it. When the housing thingy happened, he lost it all because he had no equity in any of it. Needless to say, he wasn't the only one wiped out. Now, with the apparent recovery, it seems like it starting all over again.
