Remember that great scene in The Big Short talking to the stripper in Florida who owned four condos two houses and a boat, something like that.
The cost of borrowing is far higher than it was before the 2008 crash, and subprime adjustable rate mortgages have largely been regulated out of existence since then. So while there will be some kind of crisis, it will look different than 2008.
