In this episode of Conversations with My Real Friends®, Jennifer Felten, Esq. welcomes Roshe Barooni, CEO of Planatek Financial, Inc., to discuss one of the most important questions every homebuyer should ask: Just because you qualify for a mortgage, does that mean you can truly afford it?

Buying a home starts with understanding what you can comfortably afford, not simply what a lender is willing to approve. Jennifer and Roshe explain the critical difference between qualifying for a loan and purchasing a home that supports your long-term financial goals. They discuss how choosing the right mortgage affects far more than your monthly payment; it can influence your ability to save for retirement, build wealth, prepare for unexpected expenses, enjoy life's experiences, and maintain financial flexibility for years to come.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, upgrading to your next home, downsizing, or simply evaluating your financial future, this conversation offers practical insights to help you make informed financing decisions with confidence. A home should provide security and opportunity, not unnecessary financial stress. Understanding the difference between mortgage qualification and true affordability could be one of the most important financial lessons you'll ever learn.

If you're thinking about buying a home, refinancing, or simply planning for your future, this episode will help you make smarter real estate and financial decisions before signing on the dotted line.
