I don't live in the US, things are worse in Europe. I don't even make $100k in Europe but my salary is very good for here - I started on ~$40k in London! But mainly I just want financial security - to own a home (to avoid the constant worry of suddenly having to move) and have some promise of retirement.

Where in Europe? I'm in the Netherlands. It is a pretty good place to feel stability. It is harder to make big bucks than America but there seems to be a big safety net. Consider talking to a mortgage broker and looking at houses. I never would have done it if my wife hadn't forced my hand. I ended up being able to afford it. And i was content to rent, but she wouldn't have it. In the US, I struggled with having the banks accept self-employment income.
