I have never really watched Extreme makeover, but I have seen the highlights and commercials. I guess ABC builds a show around rehabbing someones home. They get most of the stuff donated. I have seen the tear jerking moments of the people when they see their decrepit old house turned into a beautiful new home. There is always a story that goes along with the families hardships..... You think that these people after getting a brand new house FREE OF CHARGE...would be pretty set.....NOPE!
This story in yahoo goes to prove that a dog cannot change his spots! EM Home Edition built a mini mansion in 2005. The Harpers decide that after they are given a brand new $450,000 home and also they receive a $250 fund for scholarships for the kids and a home maintenance fund....to screw it all up!
These people who had nothing......got freebies totalling $750,000 decide to start their own construction business and collateralize the home. The whole thing....they take out a business loan for $450,000. Oh guess what? The business goes under and the house is now in foreclosure. I do not even feel bad for them. Cripes, most people could of lived great on that $750,000 gift.
Living beyond your means....the downfall of not only individuals....but nations.
