Reflections in Samoa

I had the privilege of visiting home recently and I learnt so much! So this is me chilling out in Sivai'i sharing some of thoughts.

We went over the foundations, the bricks, the roof, but there is one last element to this story that has been there the entire time. From the moment we started tackling the foundations we have experienced covering from our good God, so let me tell you a few stories on this all played out.

This episode is a continuation of my journey to homeownership, labeled Roof. What’s the point in a solid foundation and some sturdy walls if there’s nothing to top it off? We need the roof, both physically on our houses and financially in our journey to finishing off the home ownership journey.

We have already layed the foundations so it is time to lay some bricks! Continuing the series of our journey to homeownership, this one covers practical steps on the financial journey towards buying your first home.  Not everyone wants to own a home, but if you do then I know this latest post will inspire, clarify, and equip you on your journey. This post will give you a simple guide on what to focus on next, and once you have these locked in then you are set to succeed.  If you haven't seen the first post, I would highly recommend checking it out as there's no point laying bricks if you don't have a foundation!

This one's for anyone and everyone who wants to own the home they live in. I broke the mold and did it at 21 years old despite the market conditions, despite having a graduate income, despite what other people said (even professionals), and so I want to inspire you to do the same. It’s not an instant journey, but it’s one I believe we can all journey towards and at the bare minimum, create a plan to own your home one day if that’s what you want.

With this episode I start by laying the foundations. Houses won’t exist without a solid foundation, so the same goes for the financial journey towards buying it.

This is one entire post where I share my approach on how to save money. It was written in a time where I had to save for a house, wedding, and honeymoon, and all three were accomplished so it’s safe to say it works!

No matter how far along you are with your financial journey, saving is always going to be the foundation. If you’re wanting to get into investments you need to get good at saving money to invest in the first place. If you’re wanting to buy a house, you need to prove to the bank you can save enough to technically cover the mortgage if you got one.
