Briefly News speaks to homeownership advisor, Andrea Carr

Andrea Carr, homeownership advisor shared her thoughts with Briefly News about what is financially more profitable between starting with the small room with no furniture and waiting a bit more, collecting more money, and buying a better home/apartment.

She said that given the country's high interest rates, it is expensive to live on credit.

"Everyone’s situation is different of course - but the advice I’d give individuals is to live within one's means, and where possible, good and responsible credit / financial behaviour will have one saving to buy items for their home as opposed to getting them immediately and paying for them on credit (which will cost them more in the long run)"
