I know I'm going to catch hell, but I think I did right?

Wasn't that CRAZY!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE that MOVIE!!

If you have ever been a victim of identity theft the same paranoia applies. You really change your mindset about paper trails knowing how easily someone can take from you.

You just reminded me of something that happened to me. When I was 18 I lived in Yosemite for a few months. I came home for Christmas, and my Mom was all shook up. Apparently the police from some state back east called her, to tell her I died in a car accident. Luckily the real me showed up. And this wasn't from identify theft (I don't think), but because of someone who had the same name and was the same age as me. It was weird.

Buyers apparently still like So. Cal, and the ocean. (Except for the places sliding into the ocean?) But I have a friend who bought a home in San Jose 5 years ago, at a pretty steep price (something like $700k'ish), but now the homes around her are selling in the $500-$600k range.

Thanks again

Yeah my girlfriend is in the same situation in a place near the ocean, Oceanside, CA. She bought a condo, (interest only because she couldn't afford the payments) now her condo is worth less and they know they will have to move in the next four years because they still won't be able to afford the payment. She has already lost $50,000 in equity and she hasn't paid anything in principal. She is now paying what she can on the principal so that hopefully if the market turns in her favor she can atleast get her down payment back.

Sweet, at that rate maybe in another 5 years I'll be able to afford to buy a house.
