Contribution from borrower’s mother, resident in household: $1,850/month.
Eighteen hundred and fifty dollars a month.

What I was doing was buying groceries for five people, paying a share of utilities, covering the kids’ activities, and buying every large object anybody in that house wanted.
Somebody had sat down with a calculator, added up what the old woman in the back bedroom was worth per month, and put it on a loan application as income.
Eighteen fifty. They’d figured out my number to the dollar.
And the Hawaii Trip Was Nine Thousand Dollars
