UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What Are the Best Methods to Save for a Down Payment?
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader who is starting to set aside money for a down payment on a home inquires if UrbanTurf readers use specific methods in order to reach their down payment goal.
I have started the process of setting aside money for a down payment on a new home, and am wondering if any readers out there have happened upon a particularly successful method or formula for saving for a down payment. I have taken all the obvious steps of going out to restaurants and bars less, shopping less, and in general cutting back on the fun stuff that I used to do, but the savings is not accumulating as quickly as I hoped. If anyone out there has advice on a specific approach or program that worked well for them, I am all ears.
