Sorry TG, you are not seeing the forest for the trees right now. There are three things you will need in the next several years: Savings in cash or equivalents, No debt and a high paying documentable job to enable the savings.
Remember what happened after Enron and Worldcom??? I’ll give you a hint: Sarbanes and Oxley. That pendulum swung pretty far to opposite direction after that. The credit implosion makes Enron and Worldcom look you are pissing in Lake Michigan relatively speaking. You tell me what you think is going to happen ultimately with credit standards in the next few years???? I suspect they will get really really tight and 100K earners better have a lot more than their salary history in order to buy.
