June Is Home Ownership Month
June is National Home Ownership Month. Buying a home is often the largest financial decision one will make in their lifetime. Nichole Szczesniak, Lutheran Social Service’s Financial Counseling Housing Director, talks about the difference between paying rent and paying a mortgage.
Szczesniak says that also includes setting aside money for when the washing machine or dishwasher breaks down. R&J News asked her why millennials aren’t buying homes at the same rate as older Americans.
