I agree with mixxalot. Marion, you are not really in a position to buy right now if you don’t have reserves and a down payment. Especially considering that you’ve just finished a degree, you are especially vulnerable in the job market as what I like to call jr cannon fodder for layoffs that are going to become more common over the next few years. Just wait, see what happens.
Mixxalot, what kind of consulting do you do? I also have been laid off more than once in the past 6 years. Twice in Chicago, and once here in SD.
