Magic Kingdom & Mortgage Magic
Next week, we’re heading to Orlando for an unforgettable adventure—with our 5- and 4-year-old grandkids in tow (no parents, just us!). It’s their first Disney trip ever, and the excitement is through the roof.
Our plan? A whirlwind of Magic Kingdom, Legoland, and Peppa Pig Park.
But the real magic isn’t just in Mickey ears or roller coasters—it’s in how they see it all. Our 5-year-old even created her own color-coded calendar for June, complete with hair-washing reminders for each park day. (Future loan officer material? We think so!) 😄
As we pack sunscreen, snacks, and Mickey ears, it struck me:
Buying a home is a lot like planning a Disney trip.
Plan for the Life You Want to Live
When working with homebuyers, I often remind them: it’s not just about affording the mortgage. It’s about building a life within the home.
That life might include:
- Family vacations
- Dance lessons
- Soccer Saturdays
- Hosting backyard BBQs
- Or simply going out for ice cream on a Friday night
Those little moments—the ones you can’t always quantify—matter.
Don’t Just Budget for the House—Budget for the Life in It
Yes, homeownership is a core part of the American dream. But so is making memories with the people you love.
And that’s tough to do if you’re house-rich but joy-poor.
Here’s Your Gentle Reminder:
- Budget wisely.
- Plan for the fun stuff, too.
- Leave room for joy in your financial journey.
If you’re thinking of buying a home this summer—or know someone who is—I’d love to help. Let’s make sure the numbers support the life you want, not squeeze the joy out of it.
Let’s make room for the magic.
