I am probably exactly the same age as CC. We walked away from our house, my father would get jobs that lasted only a few months, the house prices fell by about a third I seem to recall. It's a lot more palatable for you guys now because back then the unemployment was combined with interest rates around 20%; now, the money is practically free if you need a LOC or a 2nd mortgage to get by...
