This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4bmL8UyANUU  Have you ever just finished watching a reel/short/tiktok where a finance bro is trying to convince you you shouldn't ever just own your home? Well, Rob and Archie have, and today we are discussing two of those. This type of content is alive and well online, and tends to attract a lot of followers due to the punchy, controversial takes, and convincing delivery. But you have to ask yourself, is your home an investment, or a shelter and a place to be with your family?

Still, if you're looking to settle down with your family, build your life, and create long-term memories, Rob and Archie have a different opinion. Owning your home can contribute to a stress-free life, and never underestimate the feeling of being debt-free. And when watching viral videos online, consider if this type of advice is tailored to your life, your future, and your well-being.  ☎️ Questions?
