When I refer to government jobs, I mean actually working for the military as a civilian. My dad is an Engineer for the Navy. I know that if you work for the military, your job is 100% secure unless u do something really stupid. If the base close, they will relocate you somewhere else, but you’ll never be fired. My wife is a nurse, so I think her job is pretty safe. Regarding my job, I think I’m safe for at least a year or two. After that, who knows. But I think I’m flexible enough that I can do something else. It really all depends on when you bought. I know people who bought at the bottom of the last crash and they too advantage of the low rate, now their mortgage payment is only around $800/month. So if you buy a house at a price that’s supported by fundamental, then you can weather the storm better as a buyer.
