2. There is an article in TIME magazine about reasons why home ownership is not such a good idea
any longer. The main reason not to own a home is so you can move to where the jobs are. I saw that as a negative idea.

Say you worked for a corp in Poduk,OH and had a good union job and owned a home. The company moved to Backward,MO and hired all non union workers and paid them half what you got paid with no benefits.

Your mistake was to own a house now you are tied down and can't move to MO and do the same job for half the pay and no benefits and rent an apartment!

This cartoon is about 10 years too late for computer programmers.

Next.
