Here’s a short and simple way to save for a house:
Decide on the amount you need for a down payment and closing costs to be added to it.
Open a special savings account and only use it for your house savings.
Match a fixed amount from each paycheck to that account.
Trim your budget down and hence you will save more monthly.
First-time home buyer programs are applicable for down payment aid.
Raise your income level with a raise, side job, or side hustle if you can do it.
Here, I would like to emphasize the importance of consistent contributions, bigger or smaller, and to keep your expenses in check. It might take a year or two of consistent deposits, but you will get closer to your target of owning a home.
