One foreclosure story is better now
The story of the woman who bought a foreclosed home at auction and will help the struggling family stay in its home is my choice for the "feel good" story of the day. I know that a lot of us are angry and frustrated over the issues concerning folks who got into mortgages they knew they could not afford, but for people who just fell on hard times, the mortgage crisis has been a blow to their dignity and their family life. As someone pointed out, this woman wasn't like company executives who made their 7-figure incomes off the mortgage business, got their hands slapped a bit and then walked off with part of their fortune and helping no one. She put her own money into use while (even successful) banks are playing their own cards close to the vest. And she's using her own good credit to help someone else. How many of us would attempt that in this market?
