I can't generate any sympathy for this guy (or his wife) - although I feel sorry for his children.
"Sorry kids...your mother and I spent your future education and inheritance...living the lavish lifestyle."
This is typically what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket and don't plan for a rainy day. The moment they couldn't make their mortgage payment - the 'For Sale' sign should have gone on the front lawn. Instead - they buried themselves deeper in the financial hole to keep up the appearance of wealth and status to their friends, family and neighbours.
And now they've got a real dose of reality.
I don't think people in this thread are being "too harsh" on the guy. Why soften the blow? He fucked up and didn't plan for tomorrow. He failed to read the writing on the wall.
Sympathy is still in the dictionary between shit 'n syphilis.
