And I added in costs for utilites, cable, groceries, gas, clothes, fishing gear, etc.... Then, I took a loan for about $100K less than I was approved for. Seeing as I'm not very smart, couldn't other people figure out that they shouldn't buy a house if they can't afford it?
The show is bigger than "ACORN". I'm talking macro level supply side econ gone awry.

Maybe your smarter than you think. I'm sure you don't gamble either.
