This! The housing market seems to have punished anyone with a conservative financial mindset.

It forces you to fight with the least conservative, and the banks pour on more and more credit to appropriate ever greater swathes of national surplus.

No doubt someone will say "you don't have to buy", but then you have to rent. Forever. Because they keep bailing out housing.
