Yeah. Good to remember also that income fluctuates, but debt service requirements remain constant (provided you're not actively INCREASING your indebtedness). Therefore in a recession, the more highly leveraged you are, the more likely you are to take it in the neck. Thus, figures like debt/net worth don't mean much...if both levels are high relative to income, its much worse than if both levels are LOW relative to income.
