Aw, Nora, I'm so sorry. I know so many people who are upside-down on their mortgages and stuck. And the banks won't do a damn thing to help them. I hope this tenant works out for you.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

How far back can I rewind? Can I pause? Pete and I both have some deadline stuff where a PAUSE button would be an immense help.
Well, there isn't anyway to pause time. But we can make it go real slow. But it involves you falling from a great height.

That ... is not so helpful.
I just sent off the file for the first show! Let's hope the nice lady likes it!

She will not like it. Sorry to be the one to tell you. Nope. But... She will LOVE IT!!! And squish it, and name it "George". C'mon, it's you Jilli, how could she not like it?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nora, I am so sorry for all this shit. It drives me crazy that in most cases to be considered for a refi, you have to stop making your payments. I don't know if you ever watch Suze Orman, or listen to Clark Howard, but they address these kinds of situations all the time. You might find some guidance in one of those places.

"THAT'S nutrition!"
Jilli, knowing your fabulousness and having witnessed the snarkfest with you and StuntHusband online and in person? Slam dunk, methinks. I know I'd listen to it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Nora,
I am with you in spirit. Also owe more on the house than it is "worth" and also want to refi and I'm not sure what my options are. Both times I have attempted to refi with another bank I couldn't because of mortgage and home value.
I don't understand why banks just won't let you refi for the amount owed if you have been paying on the mortgage for X years and still have a job. I do not get it. It cannot be worth it for either party to hate the bank and pay more per month than you should be paying.

Well, considering we're both still paying more than we should be paying to both banks, I'd say it's worth it to one of the two parties (HINT: not us). I don't think they give a tiny rat's ass if we hate them. And since we're underwater on our mortgages, we won't move anywhere else. And since we've proved to be total suckers who play by the rules, they probably aren't too worried about us walking away from the mortgage.
