There's been a lot of press lately about the banking collapse in the US.

Firstly realize that Canadian banks have remained conspiciously silent on the topic - they have rules of non-disclosure, so don't have to tell us how deeply they're in this mess together. But try and figure out how within the past 10 years house prices have went up by a factor of 5 and more times. And figure out where all these home buyers got their money. Are you earning 5 times what you were 10 years ago?
