[quote]Betting on wage growth is a risk I would not take.[/quote]
To each their own.
I'm not advocating buying a house you can't afford at your current salary. I'm suggesting stretching your house note as much as you are comfortable with stretching it and maintain the minimum lifestyle that ...

[quote]Well, that begs the question: What keeps you in Louisiana?[/quote]
Friends, family, culture, LSU sports, etc. After four years of school in NY, I chose Ft Polk as my first assignment in order to get back home. After my five years of service was up, I found my house in BR before finding a...

The irony is this board loves to complain about LA but statistically people are less likely to move away from LA than most other states. We always talk about our best and brightest leavi...

None of that has anything to do with question presented by the OP. I'm just saying if you list all of the states that border WV, then Maryland would be forgotten more than the others. Kentucky would likely be second...

Cruise control is for plebes. Trade the car in and get adaptive cruise control. I drive 30K miles a year as well and will not buy a truck again that doesn't have this feature. ...

This statement is completely disingenuous. It may not have been in the city limits of Baton Rouge but it was definitely part of the Baton Rouge community.

Nope that's when interest rates were 18% in early 80's. Young families were buying 300k+ houses in 2008 at the historically low rates of 7% in late 2000's.
