It’s often said that good is the enemy of great; in the same vein, comfort is the enemy of growth. If ‘living comfortably’ reflects your own situation, and you consider yourself in a position where you can’t afford to invest in property, I’d like you to ponder whether any of this sounds familiar:Are your credit cards generally at their limits? Now, I’m not saying that you need to slash spending across all of these expenses in order to get your budget under control and invest in property. You will then have a very clear picture of your personal financial situation – and I’m guessing that for many of those who are reading this, you’ll find you actually can afford to invest in property, with a few small changes to your spending habits. That way, you don’t have to lose sleep at night worrying your debts and your lack of progress towards your property goals, and you can work out how much you can afford to spend on property investing sooner rather than later!
