5 Things To Consider When Buying Your First Home

Monday, October 26, 2020

Buying your first house is a major life milestone, and depending on whether you have help or not getting the deposit together to buy your first home, it can be somewhat tricky to do. After renting, you will most likely come to the realization that you want to own your own home. Renting is great as a stop-gap while you think about what you want from a home of your own, but soon enough you will realize that you pay more money than you need to every month - sometimes more than what a mortgage would be, and so, renting doesn’t always make financial sense.


When you add all these things together, you realize that owning your own home is going to make more financial sense for you than renting. Buying a house has become tough difficult, and pre-planning is key. It's a big decision so corners cannot be cut and everything needs to be done right. Some people may have family and friends around them that can help, this will certainly take some pressure off and make it easier, but not everyone has these types of resources available to them.


Thinking about buying your first house? Here are five things to consider.

We're at that point in time where politics is at the forefront of EVERYTHING. Between debates, TV ads, yard signs, and countless articles online and on paper, it's hard to get a break from it. I follow politics, but I wouldn't consider them a passion of mine. But since this is a presidential election year, I've had a piqued interest in them. Plus, this is the first presidential election that Emma can vote in, so I've been hyping it up and creating momentum around it. I want her to know how important her role in this election is and that she should take that role seriously. (And she does!).


Anyway, on a lighter note, here are a few of the things I've been enjoying lately.

If you've always wanted a designer handbag but couldn't justify the cost, I've found some good dupes that, unless you look very, very closely, look almost identical to the designer bag. I'm not claiming that the quality is comparable. I mean, you get what you pay for ultimately. But if you are looking for a bag that's a suitable dupe that doesn't necessarily have to last 30+ years, the bag above as well as these bags are good choices.
