10 easy ways to save money for a down payment for a home
1.
Cut the
extras from your cable bill
A good example, the NFL season is starting
in a month and the NFL ticket that cost $300 + is not an expense that is needed
2.
Make your
own coffee in the morning
To spend $5.00 per day on coffee is $150.00
per month per person and that equals $1800 per year.
3.
Eat at
home more,
Think about how much you spend eating out. When you figure
in the tip at a restaurant, you can save a bundle in a year if you do a little cooking.
4.
Check your
cell phone bill and make sure your plan is best for you. You may be able to get
along with a cheaper plan.
5.
Bundle your cable and internet; you may be able
to get a big discount.
6.
When you go to the store, make sure you have a
list and try to stick to it.
If you go to the store and just start
buying things you see, you will be wasting quite a bit of money
7.
Credit
card payments
Try and pay off your credit cards every
month, those interest payments can be very costly.
8.
Watch your
utilities bill and get rid of that old refrigerator in the garage, it can
really run up the costs.
9.
Keep your car as long as possible
A car decreases in value as soon as you drive
it off the lot; it is not a good way to spend money unless you really need a
new car
10.
When you
have to buy a gift for someone, be reasonable. I’m not suggesting give a cheap
gift, but you don’t need to break the bank. Remember it’s the thought that
counts.
There are many ways to save money to put
towards a down payment on a home and each person will have their own
capabilities to save. The important thing to do is to make the effort and if it
leads to home ownership, it will all be worth it.
