This Week's Moment of Stupidity

I can't believe I found a commentable stupid moment so soon after the last one. I read this on Vox Day's blog and I am in just as much shock at this comment as he is: "If you paid your mortgage off, it means you probably did not manage your funds efficiently over the years. It's as if you had 500,000 dollar bills stuffed in your mattress.... [It's] very unsophisticated." -- David Lereah, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors Are you as dumbfounded about this comment as I am? This guy is saying being debt-free and having money saved is, well, stupid. Unreal. Like Vox says, famous last words, David; famous last words.
