  • The start of the year is always a time to think about how I can achieve my goals - especially financially. Turning 29 really got me thinking about all the ~wisdom~ I can share about this. Expand for details!

    Just something to consider from the viewpoint of a grandmother (lol) I know we had it better as far as prices for owning a home but I stayed home with the kids and my husband did not have a big job so we did scrape by for many many years. Fast forward to retiring last year with not much pension but a paid for house, we are mortgage free and rent free which is fabulous. Our friends that always rented are now retired and still have to pay rent forever. I also at your age obviously did not think about that far down the road but am so glad we struggled back in the day to not have to pay rent or mortgage now. Just some ramblings from an old fart lol.Also really love your videos.

      yes but insurance/maintenance/upkeep/taxes still cost quite a lot. Not sure how much less you're actually paying than someone with a really modest rent.

      @@nicolebrennan3085 problem is where I live we couldn't afford to rent now because the rents are thru the roof ,if you could even find a vacancy.

      Having a paid off house is kinda the only possible way to retire for most of us

    I also think when it comes to renting /owning people often only consider the mortgage vs the cost of rent and there are soooo many more expenses that come with home maintenance, property tax, renovations, insurance etc

    I always thought renting was a waste of money, and then I moved out and became a renter in my early 20s (I'm 27), it was such a good move. I was NOT in any way ready to buy a property, I didn't have to do yard work, or maintain the property. It was definitely the move at the time.

      actually buying a house comes with property taxes and other varied bills! with renting, you have all your maintenance issues and other area covered, it is actually a smarter move to rent than to buy for some. sad that most people dont know that

I seriously enjoy thrifting! cause that's buying stuff that suits your personality at literally nothing of its price. But the region where I live, has zero to no thrifting stores... I want to learn more about styling and furniture and have lots of fintech sessions with you!!!! Love your content alottt!!!

    I'm living under the rental for many, many years. Okay, I was 18th when I went to university to another city and after I finished I start working, so I moved each year to another apartment with my roommates. Until I finally start living by myself. We were 27th when we (my husband and I) decided to immigrated to Canada, TO. Again rental place, in 2021 we immigrated to Austria, again renting.
    I wanted to say, renting a place is not a bad thing for people who are moving much for a reason.
    You pay the amount each month and you are done..
    One day I believe that we will invest and get some property, which will be renting place for some nice people 😀. It is nice to have your own place, but also it's a good feeling to be mortgage free. My opinion is that, living under the rent is not a waste of money it is just a different lifestyle if I can put it like that. Now I'm 38 lol...,🙌
    It's all about the balance and how you plan your priorities. Life is too short to be
    "bound" by some crazy amount of money whole life.
    Sending love for another side ❤️
