Prices are pretty low right now. It's kind of like investing - sure, not many of us have the extra money lying around, but then again, we didn't have extra money when the economy was going great either. Like buying a house, investing right now is a really good idea if you can scrounge the extra money because prices are rock bottom. Personally, I saved money by buying my house and getting rid of a ridiculously expensive rent bill. Then I made money on my house because it's appreciated so quickly... you have to pick the right house in the right neighborhood though. (I watched a LOT of HGTV and TLC to figure out what the "right house in the right neighborhood" was. But it was worth it!) I guess young professionals have to really evaluate what they want, what their goals are, how they can afford to live, and probably a million other things before making a house purchasing decision like that! Thanks for the comment. Nisha,
