Y You're rationalizing a poor deal into a good one.

At this point, it's usually emotions and/or rationalizations of some miracle save from a future event we have no control over, that tells us to stick it out. 

Rationalizations don't balance out problems.  

I don't think any rational human being is expecting smart decisions to come from the Minneapolis government.

Let rates come down, it's actually going to cause a supply rationalization.

Let me explain my thoughts...The reason I buy communities and the reason I deal with Berkadia on my debt instead of a local bank is that both the asset and the process are more institutional, rational, and efficient.

I just need my lenders to go with me and have somewhat rational terms. 

Moreover, the Lead Ordinance's classifications are not rationally related to its stated purposes and presumptions.

Telling yourself to drop out because its 120k is a way to "rationalize" leaving.

Don't try to over analyze a bad deal and try to rationalize ways that it could theoretically work out.
