I think this is a good point that's worth repeating in these conversations. It's easy to forget in better times, but economic crashes are really scary. The financial crisis scared the shit out of me; my job situation was tenuous and our finances were shaky, but my wife and I took a big gamble and bought a foreclosed house at what turned out to be the bottom of market.
It seems like an obvious choice in hindsight, but it could easily have gone very badly.
