Absolutely. I think this is the root of why most people do continue to pay their mortgages. If you can afford the payments and are satisfied with where you live, then there is no reason to abandon your mortgage. Then there's the other group who (a) can't afford their mortgage anymore or (b) want out. This is the group who should evaluate this as a financial contract and evaluate the risks/benefits of abandoning the mortgage.
