During the pandemic, I almost bought a flat. I had the cash, the pressure, the “get on the ladder” advice from everyone around me… and I nearly said yes.

But something stopped me — and I’m so glad it did.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I was convinced property was the way to build wealth
• What changed my mind about home ownership
• The freedom renting has given me
• The hidden costs of buying that no one talks about
• And the big lesson I learned from my mortgage certification

If you’ve ever wondered whether renting is “throwing money away” or if buying is always the smarter choice — this one’s for you.
