Can you be a homeowner?!?
Look, we all know getting into the housing market can be a bit of a wild ride… it feels like we’re all on a mechanical bull that’s malfunctioning most of the time.
But if home ownership is on your wish list, we’re here to tell you that it isn’t a magical unicorn… a beautiful and frankly non-existent dream (sorry ‘corn lovers) … in fact, by committing to some simple steps, you could help yourself get closer to saving the money you need for your very own unicorn… err, home… sooner than you think.
Take Charlie here, he’s a unicorn dreamer like you, so to make that dream a reality, he’s got a 3-part plan for saving success:
One - He’s reduced his debts (including nixing that bad news credit card).
Two – He’s worked out a budget and cut waaay down on the Kardashian-like spending sprees… it’s surprising how much cash you can save when you are tracking those dollars. He didn’t have to become a social hermit either, he just switched nightclubs and benders for BBQ’s at home and weekend hikes.
Three - The last piece of the puzzle was sharing the load. That’s why he brought in Max and Olivia, cutting some living costs in thirds, meaning more money in the bank for everyone. Win!
We’re not going to sugar-coat it, it might be tough and it could take a while, but getting on track with a savings plan will have you lassoing that unicorn sooner than not, and we’ll be here to help you every step of the way.
