Megan fights foreclosure in Culver City CA

Megan is a film composer who faced a tough year due to a writer's strike and an auto immune disease that her young daughter was diagnosed with. Medical insurance does not cover the majority of her treatments which range in the thousands, and the bank did not work with her to re-finance. She is now facing foreclosure and is scheduled to move out within days.

I hate to say this, but you really should have done the math before buying the house. You make somewhere in the low 6 figures (a little over 100k) per year, and you're buying an $800,000 dollar home?! Honey that doesn't add up. Walk away from the house, and let go of the stress and start your life fresh and new again.

I bet you could buy that $850.000 house in California for $150.000 in Missouri or some other place the greedy white yuppies havent ruined.Screw all you idiots in California.

@Gunnarsguns How's the meth problem in Franklin County?

Their is a trade off in cheap housing in Missouri

when the house prices tumble, its time for us renters to buy...

@dijornopizza .....That is COLD blooded......

[mrhowardb]

Such harsh comments...My goodness.. Anyway, Thank you Megan for sharing your ordeal. Maybe it will help others overcome their current situation....

[mforce1]

Sorry...she lost credibility, for me, when she stated she had a credit score in the *900s*

[conworldus]

I thought 850 was the max credit score.

[le238man]

Credit Score in the 900s? You frigging liberal airhead, Do you think were all stupid? Fucking idiot!

This lady should find a nice 2 bed room apartment for her and her daughter, With a 100k a year salary she could live decent in Culver City. With her income she could easily afford a 2 bed room for about 2500 hundred a month.

@noirgazette no, you should not finance a house @ much more than 3.5x your annual income. she said $111K was a good year for her, so she should not have gone anywhere north of $400K.

[dijornopizza]

hold on she makes that much money and dosent have dental insurance?
