Holding the keys to my new apartment!

If you’d asked me five years ago whether I thought buying a property was a good idea, I’d have said hell no!

  • You have to fix things
  • You’re tied to one place
  • You’re trapped in a mortgage

So why the change of heart?

There wasn’t a single piece of advice that tipped the scales. Instead, a general sense of unease crept into my life…

Let me explain

I thought about pulling out. Should I travel? Pay off my student loans? Do something else?

Round and round they went.

The doubts, fears, and insecurities.

And I’ll be honest — these feelings still sit with me, even after spending the last week in my brand-new apartment.

But I’m confident I’ve made the right move.*

*I won’t tell you whether to buy a property or not. It’s a personal decision. I just want to share my thought process to help you decide whether buying is right for you.

Why am I confident?

This is the biggest commitment I’ve made in my life to date.
