I agree with Niber. Seriously, you dumb fucks can't be this ignorant can you? Never mind.

Guess you don't realize how many people put their mortgage up as collateral on loans. It's not uncommon.

How is starting a construction company a greed move? If anything it seems like an endeavor to become self sufficient.
Lots of businesses fail and for reasons that are not necessarily the fault of the owner. I mean the construction business has sorta kinda been hurt by the housing market collapse.

I agree with Skaer, without all the details you're just speculating out your ass.

QFFT!!

My take on this is it was their house to do with whatever they wanted.

They lost everything? Fuck em, they have to live with the consequences now.

I didn't bother to read the story, but if they were trying to start a business - why the fuck didn't they just incorporate?

What did they do for a living before they tried to start a business? Why did the business fail?

Obviously these people were fucking idiots. Only someone with little to no business skills/knowledge would put themselves in a position where they could lose their home in attempt to startup a new business.

Im not even sure if this show is still on, but they should make any new winners sign an agreement. That they cant sell or put the house up for colateral for a minimum of 10 years.

Can't do that.

None of these shows that do this kind of thing can put strings on the gifts they give. Otherwise, it isn't a gift. It is a contractual obligation that makes the TV show (or whatever) responsible.

They all do offer and/or highly recommend finacial planning. But that is as far as they can take it.
