We almost lost our house over a Lifetime ISA mistake..
LISAs are an incredible way to boost your first-home savings, but nobody tells you how strict the rules really are and how badly it can go wrong if you get the timing wrong.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down our near-disaster with a LISA withdrawal, and exactly what you need to know to avoid the delays, stress, and confusion we faced:
• What a Lifetime ISA (LISA) actually is, and why we chose it
• How we messed up the LISA withdrawal and caused weeks of delays
• Why timing matters so much with LISAs, and how to avoid the trap
• Key lessons from our experience that every first-time buyer should know
• The pros, cons, and rules you need to understand before using a LISA
If you're thinking of using a LISA (or already are), this episode could literally save your timeline. Hit play and make sure you’re prepared 🎧
