Its pretty pathetic for someone to leave a cat 12 million dollars, it would take that much to have the pet taken care of for the rest of its life. But then again these estentric millionaires have the pets meal flown in. The drug dog does deserve to have its meal flown in. a maltese is a dog not a cat,.

What people don't seem to realize is yes we are in a bit of a crunch right now, but it's much easier to justify buying a home than it is to play the game of stocks and bonds. I know many people that had lump sums set aside in the stock market and after the catastrophe of 9/11 they lost nearly half of their retirement. Every day we take a risk, some more than others but sometimes in life we must take a risk to proceed to the next hurdle and some are more successful than others. Nonetheless, I am completely appalled at how the media has relayed information and completely drag it out in the open over and over again. Perhaps it's not just the lenders that are at fault. By the way the media makes it sound we will be hard to recover and people that do own homes that have "negative equity" look at all of these things and come to the conclusion that perhaps it be best to just let the house go back to the bank, rather than continue paying on something they perhaps paid too much for looking at the changes from yesterdays market to today’s market.. All I am saying is the media needs to know when to say when and enough is enough. It is them that are contributing to making the market much worse than what it truly is or could be. Lay off and stop making it worse.
