Don't Chase the Milestone

The most important thing to remember? Don't buy a house just because you think you should because you've reached a certain age. A mortgage is a long-term commitment, not a birthday present.

Whether you’re signing a deed or signing a lease, make sure it’s a choice that makes you feel excited, not trapped.
