<prompt> Human: So we all know with the job market, the only way you can get a raise is to jump ship. Well I was thinking while I do want to stay relatively to where my folks are, would it be better to buy a location 30-50 miles for 150K north of where I currently live and another 150K house south, or is this a bad idea? That way I have more access to potential jobs in the future and be more open in terms of job hunting.I currently live in central NJ, and was thinking a location upper NJ and location near Philly if that matters.Thanks!  <response>: Get a job and then buy a 150K house there!
