Should you even think about buying your first home when we’re in the middle of uncertainty post market boom? – As usual, there’s no straight answer. 

In today’s show, we’re talking about the ‘buy or rent’ debate: Why buy when you can rent? Why rent when you can buy? – But ultimately, you decide where you stand… 

We also take a look at lessons we can learn from stock trading, what your decision may entail a few years down the line, things to consider before making the decision, and heaps of other valuable nuggets!
