Some moments are monumental in a person’s life. The first day of school, the day they fall in love, or even the day they get their first car. All those sound amazing, but honestly, there’s one day that will always eclipse these – the day they buy a house.
Everyone has their dream of owning a home. So how do you make the dream, a reality? Here are four questions to ask yourself before you can be a homeowner:
1. Am I financially stable?
We all know that owning a house costs a pretty penny. There are many expenses to consider, from the down payment, all the way to the furnishings. Not to mention the additional costs that come with the day-to-day running of a house. A leaking pipe always happens to arrive at the worst possible moment, especially for your bank account. That’s why it’s not a decision to be made casually. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck and find yourself unable to save consistently, you might not be ready to buy a house.
