I don't have anything to add other than echoing the advice to live below your means. You have no idea how many worlds Ive seen come crashing down over the last year. Low level execs who can't come dine out or vacation becuase theyre stressed over a mortgage payment... it boggles the mind. People are really slaving away at these jobs so they can stay on top of a house payment?!
Free yourself from those middle class traps and make sure youre working for something more than your immediate survival.

Why don't you move to the city?
