soldee: Your best bet when the going is good, is for you to build your own house - BUILD not buy.
Your rent is usually the biggest outflow and once you live in your own house, its easier to adjust your lifestyle accordingly when disaster strikes. Whatever your fake lifestyle, when alarm blow, you and your family will learn to stay at home and eat garri instead of sausages in the quiet privacy of your home with your asiri intact . Holing up in your own home will also let you re-adjust your mind to focusing on the gradual next steps you'll need to recover.
The worst thing that you can face in a retrenchment situation is the inability to renew your rent. Too many embarrassing options...
Buy that plot and start while the going is good. There are countless stories of people who bought 'one plot somewhere' b'cos the opportunity came along while they were working, they built small-by-small, and they eventually moved into such homes as their base.
Shine your eyes and see beyond the smoke and glitter of keeping up a fake lifestyle.
