Suck it up and accept your responsibilities. No one held a gun to your head to buy the house or the $40,000 of stuff on your credit cards. If it's getting tight, get a second job.
I have to agree, unless there is more to this story.

You bought a house at a price you were willing to pay. You are able to make the payments with your current income. Why would you possibly consider foreclosure? I just don't understand how that thought would even cross your mind.

If you were unable to make the payments or you were forced to sell the house for some reason, that would be different, but if you plan to continue living there, you should continue making the payments that you agreed to make. The current value of the house is totally irrelevant.
