A circumstance to be avoided

In cleaning out some old newspapers, I came across entry in the Sunday Star from June 22nd. It has a weekly feature on "The Week's Best Invented Words," which included this one credited to the Washington Post:

CASHRTATION, n.: "the act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period."

(As a licensed mortgage professional, I can assist in avoiding this condition.)
