There are a lot of things to consider like geographic mobility, financial flexibility, housing stability, and creative freedom! Listen to the full episode to hear why either renting or buying a home might be a good idea for you.A quick tip for now though: make sure that your rent or mortgage payment is no more than 25% of your monthly take-home pay.
