    Losing all your equity? Watching your socio-economic status and network vanish into thin air? Moving into an apartment and taking a job usually staffed by people 15 to 20 years your junior? Been there, done that. Just a few months, and the transient nature of these sorts of crises would be apparent. Lord have mercy on him and all similarly troubled souls.
