[quote=Anonymous]Question is can you rent a small apartment near your work to eliminate commuting costs? Get rid of your car. Live like this for a few years to save for a downpayment. How old is your son? Meaning will he need daycare? Here are other things to do: Take your lunch to work Cut cable or get a cheap directv package for 2 yes Books at the library Don't take trips unless staying with family Get a cheap mobile plan - ting or republic Set aside how much cash to use each week. Don't use cards My husband and I lived on only my salary for one year while saving for a house. This is what we did. I make around 150k without kids. We have a car but I can walk to work and we go out to nice meals and travel. We also get killed on taxes with the amt since my husband makes more than I do. Really though you can make it work and save too. Your freedom and happiness is worth it. Just live a simple life. [/quote]
