Your guide to understanding the mortgage world and improving your financial confidence

Why You Should Date Your Bank, Not Marry Them has been written with the most selfless of reasons. Having found herself alone with a child and with very little understanding of the financial world, Cara Julian had to put in the hard work to understand how to access the correct and most beneficial financial information for herself.

The money world has been mostly male dominated, and in the past, loyalty to banks was a foundation stone for our society. Demystifying the complicated and important process of obtaining a mortgage and financial independence is crucial for a single woman’s survival. The value in this book is the setting out, the simplicity of steps to be taken and the structure.

There is a starting point where we are asked to evaluate income, expenses assets and liabilities and dot point steps to do this. The next main idea is” Creating a vision,” and again we are walked through steps. Saving goals and debt management are explained and then comes the Action. Along this path, we are reminded to celebrate milestones, connect with others and seek mentorship and guidance.

Following these preparations comes the chapter “Demystifying the world of mortgages.” Here, there is a glossary of terms which is extensive and simple. Having a Mortgage Broker to inform and support one through the process of buying a house and preparing a mortgage can be an immensely important and comforting partnership. There are so many basic tips given, such as fees you are most likely to pay before the purchase of a house.

Strategies to pay off your home loan are given at the end of the book. Paying the mortgage off fortnightly instead of monthly can enable your loan to be paid off sooner. So many helpful and positive tips given make this book a must read for anyone considering buying a home. Cara has done a great service to women in producing this Survival Guide in such an accessible manner.
