If $315K seemed reasonable when you bought the house, why is it now suddenly unreasonable? If you are able to make the payments, I think you have a responsibility to pay your debts. Old fashioned maybe, but this country needs a little of that right now.
I thought we could get 3 bedroom house for 120K these days. That would bring my monthly mortgage payment to less than $1000 and my wife is making 55K so she should be able to get loan for that amount.
