If you still believe the myth that financing and owning a house will make you money, the funny, thorough, and well-researched "Open House: Debunking the Myth of the Happy Homeowner" will show you the light. From "sociopathic neighbors who teach their dogs to pee on your mailbox" to revealing statistics about the house-pushing industry, "Open House: Debunking the Myth of the Happy Homeowner" grabs hold of all the things your bank and real estate people told you and rips them open to reveal the evil within. With jokes. "Open House: Debunking the Myth of the "Happy Homeowner" pulls no punches, turning the common wisdom about houses on its ear and making a strong case that buying a house might be the most serious financial mistake most people ever make. "Insightful and witty. Like an enema for the real estate industry. Wear your rubber boots and gloves." -- H.W. "Required reading for any potential home buyer. But if you already own a house you might want to avert your eyes." -- S.G. "Is this even a real book? I can't believe anyone is allowed to publish this kind of garbage. An abuse of the first amendments." -- S.T. "Screw you, a**hole If I ever find you I'll beat your f*ing a** " -Anonymous Facebook fan. From the book: "Given that buying a house is the largest financial commitment most people ever make, it seems a bit odd that the purchase is usually entered into based on false assumptions, inadequate information and bizarre -even delusional- financial expectations. Most people shuffle forward in a zombie-like daze on the path to house buying as if there were no other options available and being chained to a life-draining mortgage was the human equivalent of an infinite supply of zombie "braaaaains." Why are the real facts about financing and maintaining a house so surprising when (to be frank) all the information in this book was just sitting there and mostly what we've done is pull it together for you and add snotty comments? There was no initiation ritual, no scouring the depths of the "Deep Web," no dark alley interviews with cloaked whistle blowers wearing masks. You can find most of this stuff yourself using Google. In fact, once the spell is broken, you can just listen to the nonsense spewed by the house-pushers and notice how carefully they dance around the facts.: You can figure out the truth by what they don't say and how they don't say it. But only if you are listening. Why aren't we listening?"
