How to Save for a Down Payment on a home
Saving for a Down Payment on a home seems like a daunting task. But as with all daunting tasks, breaking it down into different steps helps.
1) Decide how much home you can afford - there are lots of online calculators that are helpful for this step
2) Set up a savings plan which might even include moving back home for awhile
3) Speed up the process by investing some of the money you're saving for a down payment - but be conservative on how much you invest
4) Consider borrowing from your 401(k)
5) When saving 20% for a down payment just isn't possible
