Owning a Home Changes the Way You Think About Money
In this episode of Dollars and Sense, we’re joined by Max Lucas, a loan officer at HAPO, and Connor MacDougall, a local real estate agent, to talk about how homeownership reshapes your relationship with money.
It’s not just about mortgages and maintenance — it’s about the mindset shift that happens when you go from renting to owning. From unexpected costs to long-term planning, this is a real-world look at the growth that comes with buying a home.
In this episode:
• How homeownership builds discipline
• What surprises new buyers the most
• Why it’s more than just a mortgage payment
• Lessons from two real estate pros who see it every day
