I guess the financial ruin of others could be good if you were looking for used stuff, but I don't need any more 'stuff' right now.

That makes sense because if you bought a few years ago you will still "face financial ruin" so why is not buying stupid, and buying to face financial ruin smart?? It's the persons that stampeded like a herd of buffalo heading to a cliff to buy that caused the bubble and everybody (bears too) are going to suffer due to the stupidity of that bunch of mindless creatures.The only differance is bears were "shouting there is a cliff ahead!" and the oh so smart buyers ignored them with their ego's and heads stuck firmly up their asses! :-) <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-16904">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> "Just because you weren’t smart enough to buy a few years ago…."

But what do I know? I'm not smart enough to buy at the peak of a boom. In fact I'm stoopid enough to have sold a fully paid off townhouse last August. I didn't cause the boom, and won't cause a crash. I just maneuver the tumultuous waters as best I can. I rent for now, and will buy again, when it makes sense. <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-16896">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Anonymous@ 17:40:56
