I was all gung ho about buying a house, then I just heard today that so and so isn’t here anymore. Wow, am I next? Don’t really know the real story, seems like I’m always the last to hear. Just got me thinking though with jobs scarce do I really want to invest in something that might become an albatross around my neck? Don’t think the family can survive very long with just 1 income earner and a mortgage to boot.
