Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager.

My perspective on homeownership really lines up with how many Millennials see things: it is not a “must-do by a certain age,” it is a lifestyle choice that has to fit your finances, mental health, flexibility needs, and long‑term goals.

I emphasize:

  1. Renting as a valid, often smarter option when you value mobility, amenities, and lower stress
  2. Only buying when you’re financially and emotionally ready for maintenance, extra costs, and putting down roots

That mirrors a lot of Millennial priorities: freedom to move for work or adventure, avoiding crushing debt, and choosing what genuinely supports well‑being rather than following old timelines.

Are you personally debating whether to keep renting or start planning to buy?
