How We Purchased Our Dream Home in 2 Years! Saving + Budgeting Tips, Key To Save Money News.

In this video I share the main steps we took to purchase our first home including getting our credit in order and saving for the down payment

Some other things we did (these were originally in the video but it ended up being 32 minutes long ...) 

--On the weekends we did FREE actives. I have several videos with ideas including DIY movie night, DIY picnic, DIY cosy night in, DIY date night at home etc. We stayed in a lot more and got creative! 

--Had a LOW BUDGET wedding and honeymoon. We were laser focused on saving money for a house so I didn't want to spend much on our wedding or honeymoon. This was a personal choice that's not going to be for everyone, but that allowed us to get into our house a lot faster.

--Stopped eating out. We didn't eat out a lot to begin with, but we cut it back even more and only ate out 1-2 times a month. When we did eat out we only ordered water.

--Budget shopping. I started buying a lot of things from the dollar store- I have many videos about this on my channel.
