re: Percentage of net worth "invested" as equity in your primary residence?

The way the OP worded his post indicated to me that he was going to buy a place MUCH more expensive than $150,000. I'm all for buying a home that you could be turned into a rental if he lost his job.

There isn't a right or wrong answer as different people have different paths in life and much different financial goals. I was probably a little harder on him in my post than I should have been.
