30 it got completely emptied out now I m on deficit spending. Ralph
31 In this point in our life, we needed to have something that we owned so we could try to have a steady cost we could fix within my fixed income. Well, it didn t completely empty it out, but... it got it down pretty low and... then when the escalations came on, that completely emptied it out, which was this year. Well, not this year, last year, 2007, that s when it got completely emptied out. And now I m on deficit spending. It s gone now. It s just a memory (laughing). A memory from when the housing boom was going high, and I had more work than I could handle, and I was able to put something away.

33 Asset Depletion Unbalanced Budgets Income Reduction Unsustainable household expenses Spent household assets Took on debt Used extended family resources Asset Exhaustion
34 Motivations Decisions Identities
35 Solomon: Ah, why I wanted to buy a house? Because it s always the American Dream. One wants to buy one s own house to live well and to be paying for oneself.
36 Katarina: I found this person was going to my porch, opening the doors, doing whatever he wants in my apartment. So, I feel like it s dangerous because at nights those apartment don t have a key on every room.... When my other two kids come to this country, I better have something safe for them because it was, to me it wasn t safe. Nothing happened to me, but it was like, you know, door open, cigarettes, things in my apartment, and sometimes there was marijuana next door. So, it s better me living here. So, that s why I was looking to buy an apartment.
37 Yolanda: a place where children could run and play, [where she could] raise children without a headache. Jana: You know what is sad? If you don t have any kids I mean, you don t care, you just go pay rent somewhere else or do something but when you have kids, you look at them, at your situation. You don t think about you, you think about them. What is going to happen to them if they call home and there is no home anymore? And when they re too young to understand these kind of things, so you have to try to... and tell them, well, it s not our house anymore, we have to move, we can start again. But kids get used to things like anybody does.
38 Donna: I inherited it from my grandmother.... about 20 years, maybe more. I took care of my grandmother, lived there. It s a family house.
39 Future deprivation? Future asset insecurity?
40 Incentives for saving Financial Security Tax Credit Individual Development Accounts Matched retirement savings accounts Sufficient income and jobs with benefits Programs to help replace income during financial potholes
41 Sustainable mortgages E.g. Self-Help Community Advantage Program Appropriate terms Homeownership education Development of affordable homeownership opportunities Safe and secure renting options
