Worried about feeling house-poor after buying your first home? Learn how to practice homeownership before taking the plunge, removing anxiety from this life-changing purchase through smart preparation and mindset shifts.
Quote: "You don't have to just dream about lavish things that you hope to have someday. We can freaking paint our someday, put it in a spreadsheet, and know exactly when it's going to happen."
Highlights:
- What if the dreaded B-word (budget) isn't about deprivation, but a lifestyle change that lets you indulge guilt-free in your dream purchases?
- Could practicing your future mortgage payment while renting be the secret to never feeling house-poor?
- What if understanding that your home feels most expensive in just the first three years could change your entire perspective?
- How might switching from rising rents to a fixed mortgage payment transform your financial future?
- Could planning future gatherings in your new home - from karaoke nights to holiday parties - motivate you through the buying process?
