same. even though I make good living, buying house seems difficult - it's a lot of money for many years. add closing costs and misc repairs, and owning appears to be quite expensive. I wouldn't know what to do if at any point within next 10 years I lost the job.

Are there not any alternative employers where you live (including remote)? Do you have an emergency fund to cover living expenses if you lose your job? The reason I pry is 10 years is a long time to not be able to get together a 3-6 month emergency fund (if you don’t already have one).
