It's this man: a New York Times reporter whose specialty is (you guessed it) financial matters. He's now eight months behind on a fancy-pants mortgage he says he knew from the beginning that he couldn't really afford. But the good folks at the mortgage company, according to Our Hero, are so inundated with other behind-payments loanholders that they haven't come knocking on his door.
Yet.
When they do, will the humiliation be any less? What if he'd done what common sense was practically shouting to him in the first place: get a mortgage he could actually afford?
