Show Notes

Annie Cole, author of "Money Essentials for Women," offers advice for first-time homebuyers. She urges people to focus on the down payment then work on a payment roadmap from there. Annie talks about her "28% rule" for monthly income and the ways you can budget for mortgage payments. On the "micro retirement" trend, she weighs the pros of investing in yourself and taking breaks from work, against the cons of eating into savings and leaving gaps in your resume.
