I've been diligently saving up to buy a vacation condo in Florida. Finally I thought I had enough money but the developer increased the prices because of high demand. I borrowed some money from my brother and bought the condo of my dreams. Two months later there was a financial crisis and everyone was unloading these condos they could no longer afford. I was surprised when the mean developer didn't give me back the difference in price, and I was also annoyed that the State of Florida wanted so much in land transfer tax for a property I already owned.
