My Old New Jersey Home (In the Age of Economic Meltdown)

The address isn’t on this listing, but if the map is correct it appears that the buyers of the house I grew up in are headed for foreclosure.

Nothing brings out the shark in me quite like the prospect of picking up the family homestead for a song. Big, big yard, all those memories.

Then again, big, big yard, all those memories. Exactly why I didn’t buy the house before. And even at 20 percent off the mortgage balance it isn’t exactly cheap.

In the cool light of day, we are reminded that three quarters of a million dollars is a lot of money, even for a house.
