| May 1, 2013 at 17:06 | comment | added | Chad Johnson | @DJClayworth While your story has good points, my employment is and was secure due to the marketability of my skill set. Even if I lost my job, I could easily find another in less than a week at numerous places. So while employment security should be a consideration, it is/was not at all an issue in my case. | |

| Apr 30, 2013 at 2:03 | comment | added | warren | @VladLazarenko - I think he merely meant more than $100k :) | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 22:33 | comment | added | user4929 | @warren: Right, I interpret «over six digits» as 7+ digits. | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 22:14 | comment | added | warren | @VladLazarenko - 6 digits is not a million dollars. 7 digits is where the millions start. | |
| Apr 29, 2013 at 21:47 | comment | added | user4929 | To me this just sounds very strange. Why would you want to take a mortgage for $150K if you make over a million a year? There are a lot better investment options than owning a condo. | |

| Jul 20, 2012 at 13:45 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Let me tell you a story. Friend of mine took a new job and, against advice, immediately bought a house. The job didn't work out, and he was let go at the end of his probation period. The only job he could find was three hours drive away, at lower pay. He ended up with a mortgage he couldn't afford, and a house he couldn't sell, and sleeping on friend's couches during the week while his wife looked after the kids on her own. Moral:don't buy a house when your employment situation isn't secure. | |
