Those of us smart enough to use a calculator can determine that the media was just blowing smoke for their own self interests, nothing more.

You may figure out a way to do it once, but if you go back on your word and it blows up in your face your name will be essentially poison in most REI circles.

Rainier blowing, a bomb in the harbor, a socialist city council, Boeing moving out of town, Microsoft moving to somewhere else, Amazon making a major mistake and it all changes pretty quickly.

The seller would get the house back, even after we caught the seller up in arrears, paid closing costs, and put some cash in the seller’s pocket. Why does the seller care if we stop paying? He made $20,000 or $30,000....

Those arguing to just blow em off in 1 form or fashion, lol, well I am blunt and compulsively honest so I will just call it as I see it that they have no clue what there talking about, that's a fast-track to more problems. 

This accelerates, but you hear nothing so you blow em off as "what ever". 

Hoping there is some other economical way to deal with this or it'll blow up my budget.  

...the housing expansion between March 2020 and now is still very likely to go down in history as blowing unprecedented amounts of air into an unprecedented bubble.not only that . . . 

I made a commitment to my wife that I wouldn't blow our money, I buckled down and got to work.

It is hard to be a good advocate for your situation without knowing all of the details.
