<p>I thought when you agreed to pay a mortgage you have entered into a legally binding contract. If you fail to pay you are in violation of a contract.</p>
<p>The author somehow cloaked this in terms that by walking away from his mortgage he was putting his family first. Like the rest of us who honor the documents we have signed are putting our families second.</p>
<p>He and his wife made choices that I didn’t make. They had four kids, I only had two. I wanted more but I didn’t feel we could afford it. It sounds like his wife is a stay at home mother which is also a choice I didn’t have.</p>
<p>The author just sounds like someone who if he wanted something he helped himself. Then he turned around and walked away from a quarter of a million dollars of debt.</p>
