Deciding to buy a house is probably one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. This is why it’s not something that should be done on a whim or taken lightly.

I’m speaking from experience here. Buying my first house 7 years ago one of my biggest financial mistakes.

Luckily, I can now say things turned out ok in the end. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a struggle at times because I bought my house before I was really ready.
