Episode description
Class is back in session! In this special ‘Study Hall’ episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make––home buying. We’ve packed this episode with some of our best conversations on renting vs. buying—including insights from Ramit Sethi, Kate Wood from NerdWallet, and Redfin’s Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. Whether you’re trying to decide if homeownership makes sense for you, want to better understand mortgages, or need permission to not buy a house right now, this episode is your comprehensive guide to one of life’s biggest financial moves. Let’s bust some myths, talk strategy, and help you decide what’s right for your real life—not someone else’s version of success.
