About this episode
Luke Kemeys discusses why he believes renting can be a more financially sensible choice than owning a home.
Buying your first home is seen as a key milestone signifying success in your financial journey, while “just" renting is somehow seen as being behind. But Luke Kemeys of the Keep the Change Podcast and Next Advisory sees it differently. For him, it’s a deliberate choice – and he thinks we need to look at renting differently. Luke joins Nadine Higgins to explain why he thinks renting often makes more financial sense than owning your own home. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
