If you plan to stay here for more than 5 years or longer, I would say it is better to buy a house and settle down your family here. I do not think it is a good idea to buy a house in edmonton and working in fort mcmurray for long time, both for the family and economic reasons. 2 j' o$ ~& E8 Z9 I * j9 \$ f% p!

It is easy to find a job if you both want to work, and will earn much more money than anywhere else./ z2 X, w# r7 \# v
