Imagine you're about to close on your dream home and—bam!—your partner loses their job. Do you push ahead or hit pause? If your lender finds out, they might pull the plug on your mortgage, so honesty is key. You could try to renegotiate with the seller or put down more cash to keep things moving. But remember: stretching your budget too thin could turn home sweet home into a money pit. Sometimes, walking away (and losing your deposit) is the smarter move for your wallet. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTips
