The timing was coincidental, but I read this story a few days after I read a Washington Post article about a couple who bought a 4900 sq ft, 5 bedroom, $1m house in Maryland. Bought it 5 years ago. They've made NO payments on the loan and are (so far) successfully fighting eviction by constantly appealing based on a variety of Maryland laws. 5 years, no payments.
Why can't I ever dream these schemes up!!!!! I've got great credit, but they are probably just as warm, just as dry, and just as comfortable as I have been for the last 5 years!
Seriously, it's sad that some folks are unable to take advantage of random fortune. This girl won the lottery, overspent on a house, probably invested nothing, and was probably immediately surrounded by friends and family who wanted money.
It's a shame all the way around.
