Preventing a Mortgage Crisis When You Buy a Home

Some sound financial advice you might want to consider, but...

The good news is that current homebuyers have the ability to strengthen our long-term economy and protect themselves by following sound financial principles. Foremost among these is living within one's means. This pertains to items small and big, from the food a person purchases to the home a couple buys. [emphasis mine]

Living within one's means? What the fuck is that? Is the author anti-American? Perhaps a socialist? American's ALWAYS live beyond their means. Its the American way.
