2) Buying a house is not necessarily a bad decision. I bought a place an year ago. My mortgage + housing related expenses are less than renting.

Rent went up from $1600-$2500 in a couple of years. My mortgage remains almost fixed except for property taxes.

Entrepreneurship I agree is all about managing risk/reward.
