Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie Buying my First Home as a Freelancer (emotional chat + tips)

Guys, I am so lucky to have been able to buy a house with my partner, Ali, this year, and this episode is all about how I got there, along with my very practical savings tips.
From being advised not to quit my salaried job by a mortgage broker to being in a position to withdraw money from my investment stocks for the house deposit, I go through the journey with you.
A few takeaways:
- The struggle to change my mindset of owning a house being a measure of your worth, and letting go of the pressure of what everyone else doing around you
- How our desire to travel and move overseas has impacted the journey, and what the outcome has ended up being.
- Consistent savings and investing - and with no help from family (a frustrating “savings” tip from a bank)
- Creating clear goals with your partner
- Keeping your mind open and readjusting your expectations for your “dream home”.
