Babies cost money. She, and her boyfriend, overstretched their finances buying and furnishing their homes. Like some really dumb people, they don't have a significant savings for unexpected events. They are getting whacked with two in the form of marriage and a baby. neither can sell their place without losing money on the deal...money they don't have to lose in the first place. The closing costs and sales commissions exceed their equity in the homes. In other words, they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Why single 21 year old kids with no college education need $250K 2700 square foot luxury condos is beyond me.

I am surprised at the number of americans who couldn't survive 6 months of unemployment yet spend their paychecks on stupid stuff like dining out and buying stuff they don't need...on credit. Are they REALLY that incredibly dumb, or are they just incredibly dumb? Then again, maybe they are just incredibly dumb!
