Yes. When my wife and I bought, we made a conscious decision not to over-buy, and bought a modest ranch with no frills, and had the goal that if one of us were injured, sick, or lost our job, we could still pay the mortgage.
Same here...Even went through some tough runs around 2008 and few other bumps through 2012. All I had to do was pick up the phone and call my lender; we always worked something out that all parties were satisfied and the loan continued on.
I am thankful I didn’t buy a home outside my means; I would have lost it had I trusted the realtor and finance guy that said I could afford twice the amount of home...Dodged a bullet on that one.
