Well then you have two options move to a cardboard box on the sidewalk, which will likely cost you your job, friends, bank account, visa status, children, etc. Etc. Or you can go massively into debt propped up by vicious predatory lending such as cash now type places. Or i guess turn to crime or prostitution. The American Dream folks. You just raised shareholder value on the investment company that owns every apartment in your neighborhood.
