Episode 78 Traumatized By The Housing Crash Of 2008 (ft. The Wall Street Journal's Ryan Dezember)

In this episode Kari joins Jeff & Shannon McLaughlin to welcome special guest Ryan December.  Ryan is a Wall Street Journal reporter based in New York and writes about financial markets, investing in energy, infrastructure and real estate and other Wall Street topics.  His upcoming book "Underwater" will be released on July 14, 2020 on Amazon (https://amzn.to/39RWK2B) and at all major booksellers.  In it he shows how decisions in New York and Washington played out on his street in a booming corner of the Sunbelt that was convulsed by the crash.  Instead of watching the U.S. housing market collapse from trading floors in Manhattan as in previous accounts, readers will witness the mortgage meltdown from his perch as a newspaper reporter, first in the boom-to-bust South and later in New York, among the financiers who are gobbling up suburban homes and profiting in the aftermath.  Jeff & Shannon McLaughlin were among those who saved up to purchase their first home in 2005 and continued to pay down their mortgage as they built their financial dreams, only to see all their equity and more evaporate by the consequences of Wall Street speculation and subprime lending.
