Are you focused on your mortgage rate… or your life rate? 👀
A lot of homeowners are holding onto a 3–4% mortgage because it feels impossible to give up. But that rate is only one piece of the financial picture.
Credit cards, car payments, student loans and other debt can push your overall monthly obligations much higher. Sometimes, making a move and restructuring the bigger picture can actually lower your total monthly expenses — even with a higher mortgage rate.
We recently helped a client do exactly that and lower their overall monthly budget by $2,000 a month.
Don’t let one interest rate make the decision for you. Look at the whole picture. Have questions about your “life rate”? Give me a shout.
