<div class="bbWrapper">Last night Dateline had a story on the Mortgage Fiasco ... they profiled 3 people who received mortgages and defaulted on them ... 2 were severely unqualified and 1 maybe so. <br />
<br />
When asked, <i><b>"How much responsibility do you take"</b></i> all 3 unanimously took very little responsibility, if not, NONE. One woman (Delores) took ZERO responsibility and called herself a victim. (She got $1.3 million in mortgages essentially being broke). One woman was a retired principal and failed to read any of her documents. The other woman had her lender fraudulently change her income from $1500 month to $7800.<br />
<br />
All 3 claim victim hood (the latter I can see, but the other 2?)<br />

<b>The first step in having a wealthy mindset is to take responsibility for your actions (and lack of actions "I didn't read the documents"). </b>If you watch the video and listen to this woman's language, everyone else is to blame -- she's a victim (her words) and its as if mortgage lenders put her into mortgages at gunpoint.<br />

While the realm of greed traces to all parties, you still have a choice. If a junkie is on the sidewalk giving away free Heroin, you still have the choice to say NO. Most people did not.</div>
