They could probably afford it when they got the mortgage. They were a 2 income household. How much of the income was her husband's? Perhaps he had a gambling problem, or there were some huge medical bills that they had to pay. We just don't know. $70,000 is not a huge salary in California, so her husband must have been the breadwinner in the family. Why wasn't he contributing anything to the family? You aren't much of a progressive, if you were, you would actually care about other people. I bet you blame the victim of most scams.
