An economics reporter reveals his own financial mess

Edmund Andrews reported on the downturn in the economy, writing articles on the go-go mortgage market before anyone thought it would collapse. Like millions of Americans, Andrews found himself weighed down by a home loan he couldn't afford. Unlike the others, he wrote a searing account of his own mortgage crisis.
