we do thru out the year. our priorities are to live a simple life,we do not live in a McMasion, drive expensive
cars, I do not wear fake nails,nor extensions,BUT I do go to a hi end Salon with talented stylist,my husband
has a golf membership at a small local golf course (10 minutes away) and My passion is gardening.
Skiing WAS a passion,but aging is a bitch and breaking a hip is NOT my idea of "happy camper"...I am only
relating this because we worked hard/saved money/made a plan/and then implemented it.
Smart! Life can sneak up on you, twenty years can pass in a flash and you need to plan for life post work.

Since we KNOW U R upper middle class (gleaned from your postings about work)......U have the luxury
of waiting it out (mortgage not being in forebearance/short sale OR a landlord putting your life possessions
at the curb....not to mention,children with empty stomachs and a floor to sleep on IF they are lucky,
could be a car seat.

The actual reality is that banks and landlords are in no big hurry to throw out those who are past due. The press and social media would go after them. Some landlords are even offering discounts. I saw a Golden apartment complex that was offering 50% off rent through 2021.

I am no longer a landlord as I sold off a couple of years ago but... when I was, I was confronted with 3 tenants who couldn’t pay their December rent. I used a management service to collect rents and they were pretty strict on their guidelines. They were required to get my permission to evict though and I refused. I wouldn’t kick anyone out of their home at Christmas. Funny thing was that every one of those tenants got their bills up to date and became the most reliable tenants that I had. Not every landlord is a Scrooge just waiting to pounce. These stereotypes are dangerous.
