I enjoyed reading James Scurlock's "Maxed Out", but I think he is being just plain snarky in this article. It sounds like a personal attack on Suze Orman. No financial advisor/writer gets it right every time, but I do seem to recall Suze warning more than a few years ago about the dangers of pulling equity out of your home. It was her words I remembered when we re-fied despite all the pressure from the broker to take out "just a little bit more". Thank God we are not seriously upside-down in our mortgage today.
