If I am middle class and struggling to make ends meet, wouldn't that mean that I'm living beyond my means? Whats wrong with living in a apartment. Then most people that can't pay their mortgages wouldn't have to struggle anymore and can afford their necessities. I think that when they first started doing these loans their were jobs but then the economy went sour after 2000 and people lost their jobs they weren't able to pay. It just happened to be the lower class people that lost their jobs first. Now the middle class is/are losing jobs and they are going through the same thing and it looks like they were living beyond their means too. Soo only the rich were doing the right thing buying and living in houses.
