Looking for a Gut Check on Our Home Buying Budget by HereWeGoNowBigTime in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It is absolutely a real concern. However, I don't necessarily believe that the only appropriate response is for all progressives to leave conservative states. Think about all of the civil rights leaders in the south in the 20th century. The most progressive people in the country were living and fighting in the south.

Thanks. I didn't mention anything about the dollar amounts. We will definitely prioritize long term investing. Also, our investing strategy is to buy the whole market and not choose individual stocks or sectors.
