Three in a bed

They discuss why they openly talk about crushes, why you need to be careful about what you say to your friends and whose duty is it if there’s a parent overstepping boundaries?

Hi Guys,
This episode is a little different and goes on to reflect what we are currently dealing with. We must reiterate that we aren't financial advisors or mortgage brokers so please don't take our advice without doing your own research. Buying a home can be a joyful but very stressful experience and one of the ways to minimise the stress is to do as much research as possible.
