Even if you have a $300,000 mortgage, sometimes you have to spend $500 on a new dishwasher. A lot of people just don't have the cognitive apparatus required to make that leap.

Really well put, for a first pass at rebuking that mindset. And then you have the fact that economically, the core of Chicago is doing quite well right now - and vast preponderance of indications are that this will continue for the next few years at minimum......
