Change is Good
I have a proposal: the NYT should replace Andrews with a weekly first-person financial sob story (a different one each week), paying each person the pro-rated amount that would otherwise go to Andrews.
Seriously, does anybody think that he offers $120,000 a year (plus benefits) of insight into the financial world?

Like "Modern Love" but more irksome?

Yep.
Alternately, the first-person sob story could be accompanied by a critique by the folks at thehousingbubbleblog.com. They're really good at finding the gaps in these stories and they'd do it for free.

Mr. Andrews, I know you don't want to beat up on yourself, but don't beat up on me either. Don't expect me to bail you out and don't expect me to pay your mortgage. I didn't go into debt. I didn't buy a house I couldn't afford. I played buy the rules. Why do you get to win?

Patricia is Mrs. Andrews (the new one).
