What he said.
I don't place a great deal of value on paper money. I am sorry I don't. I know I need it to pay bills etc. I work. But where I am being sneaky and cunning to get a better deal, I wouldn't want any part of that. Whether it's getting a job promotion or a better house. I am happy with what I have got, if i was meant to have more, i would have it.
I'm of the same mindset. I can see it being smart if you're only concerned about personal gain and okay with defaulting on personal responsibility. It wouldn't be worth it to me to make that trade-off. But, I completely understand someone not wanting to pay what they consider full price for a house that has declined in its worth, if that means new people will be bringing a less safe environment to the neighborhood. That too is shitty.
After reading everyone's input, I guess I'm still in the same place. It's shitty and it can be smart, depending on your value system. I am shitty at times, but usually due to ignorance rather than choice. JMO...
