FORECLOSED LIFE

The country has been plagued with foreclosures. There's no one to blame but the people who signed for the loans and the greedy lenders who gave the loans to people with bad credit.

All of this has me thinking when did the idea of 'land ownership' take place? Did the Native Americans have trust deeds and mortgage lenders? Granted there were territories as in the animal planet. Was it a natural progression of life that he/she who has the most toys wins? The idea of paying hand over fist for overpriced properties is insane.

Yes, I live in a yurt. The parcels of land are owned by a friend who wants to turn the parcels over to his friends. Me being one of them. I'm very happy and grateful. I wish there were more people like him.

Why can't life be like this for everyone?
