God, that is REALLY reprehensible. I can understand maybe having to walk away from your house, but to move into something more grand?? She should feel guilt and anxiety, instead there is “cultivation” and self promotion.
What a huge fake!

I'm surprised and not surprised, all at the same time.
The property assessor's office lists the "full cash value" of the new home at just over $1M. One meeeeeelllliooonnnn dollars.

Wow. That's all I can say.
Actually, that, and "hypocrite".

I honestly dont know what to even say. I am trying to think of some logical reason she would chose to do this and cannot come up with one. Not for someone who has her income and financial means. And especially when she upgraded her home and has made a conscience effort to sell us her 'perfect life' bullshit.

I just don’t understand their decision to go this route. Can their money situation be that out of control with the new home and income loss? And if it is then why all the vacations and spending? You would think it would humble you and how you handle your money.

I am eagerly awaiting her next IG post after her (or her minions) read this. Any bets on what she (vaguely or is it passive-aggressively?) posts as a hand-slap?

I can't believe her husband would be ok w/this. From a reputation perspective, if nothing else. As you said, this is in govt records. I still can't believe it somehow. Seems so unlike the "personal responsibility" mantra that so many well-healed republicans and upper class families like to spout. To the privileged, defaulting on loans is just good financial practice. There's a reason that Donald Trump mentions how much he loves bankruptcy. He gets to pay himself his millions but stiffs the people doing real work as is the case with most big businesses going under. At any rate, I do hope the bank goes after her family hard because they clearly aren't struggling financially.

You would think it would humble you and how you handle your money. I feel the same way, so I'm not judging her on the situation. It's her hypocrisy that annoys me. All those years, she's been preaching her values of authenticity, writing blog posts about what constituted a good life, as if she was authority--and she can't be bothered to be upfront about any hypothetical bad choices in line with her so called values. So whether she did that on purpose or had no choice, I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. The more I think about her behavior, the more hypocrisy I see.

What a joke that WaPo story looks like now.
Maybe the WaPo writer and the WaPo RE section (@dimavitanova (the reporter) and @postrealestate) should do a follow-up about people living large on the outside while screwing people and cheating on the inside.
I have no issue w/people walking away from debts when they get rooked by life with medical disasters or job losses.
But not when they splash their ability to pay all over two IG accounts while telling everyone else how to 'live their best life'.

You would think it would humble you and how you handle your money. Yes. I've been dead ass broke before and its a very humbling experience. Because I've had to worry about how I would pay bills in the past, is why I am a budget freak now. I NEVER want to be in that position again. But you know what I didn't do when I was dead ass broke? I didn't go buy a new big house. Take vacations. Eat out. Buy swimsuits. We sold everything that wasn't nailed down so we could dig our way out.

My thoughts were more along the lines of someone posting on her home build account asking whatever happened to her previous home or asking if she ever misses her previous home etc...

The home is collateral for the loan and is foreclosed upon on default of loan repayments. Bankruptcy is a much broader process.

Just from life observation in general, it seems that those who are "trying to keep up with Jones" or those who think they are "the Jones", tend to carry a lot of debt. The Jones and their wannabees, usually have a lot stuff-items-things-etc... to show, but the majority of it isn't paid for, it's financed.
Given this new tidbit of information, makes me wonder how much of her/their life is financed and not paid in full every month or as soon as possible.

Yep, it's called "Strategic Default" and used by the rich, banks, and corporations all the time. Here's a Wiki article on the topic. The ethical issues section is an interesting read. Funny how playing by the rules seems like a thing only for the poor and the middle class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_default

Someone just posted on the higgins home page! Ok who did it? 😄 I’ve never actually read through her house IG. The number of times she uses the word “intentional” in a post should be a drinking game . Let’s see if the answer to the foreclosure question ever happpens.

To separate it from her other account that is specifically for her business. Oh, wait. Nevermind. She posts about her house on both accounts and just needed a second one to shove down people's throats just how special she is because she believes in God better than anyone else that worships him/her/it.

Hi everyone. Im asking that we please stop posting this information about Becky. It has risen to the level of doxing-- broadcasting personal or identifying information for various reasons, including inflicting harm, harassment, online shaming, extortion, coercion, etc. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoxingEveryone thinks they have a good reason. Yes, Becky is probably a hypocrite. We still shouldn't harass her. Posting personal information, especially on her blog, is harassment and it's certainly meant for nefarious purposes. This can happen to anyone. Anyone who posts the wrong opinion online or says something unpopular at work or any other reason. I get it. I have also enjoyed this thread. I'm not trying to handslap. She's a hypocrite but this stuff has consequences we can't know.

Here a few examples from the Wikipedia article:
In the 1990s anti-abortion activists secured abortion providers' personal information, such as their home addresses, phone numbers, and photographs, and posted them as a hit list, ruled by the courts to be an immediate incitement to violence. ..Between 1993 and 2016, eight abortion providers were killed by anti-abortion terrorists.
Following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, vigilantes on Reddit wrongly identified a number of people as suspects.[36] Notable among misidentified bombing suspects was Sunil Tripathi....The family later confirmed Tripathi's death was a result of suicide.[38] Reddit general manager Erik Martin later issued an apology for this behavior, criticizing the "online witch hunts and dangerous speculation" that took place on the website.[39]
In 2016, Fox Business news anchor Lou Dobbs revealed the address and phone number of Jessica Leeds, one of the women who accused American presidential candidate Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual advances; Dobbs later apologized.[45]
Everyone thinks they have a good reason.

I know most of the peas don't like the new home, but I do love the updated midcentury modern look. And holy cow! That guest room! I think it's the same size as my living room. Actually bigger.
