A 20% down payment has been discussed a lot since the housing bust, but that is unrealistic for most buyers.<span>  </span>If you wanted to purchase a house for $200,000, 20% would be $40,000, an unlikely amount for most buyers, especially the first time home buyer.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img title="Saving for A Down Payment" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/2/8/1/8/ar135958518481827.jpg" height="107" alt="Reviewing Budget" width="160" style="float: left; margin: 5px 7px; border: 4px solid black;">The best way to start saving is to sit down and review your budget (if you don’t have one, this is a good time to start one.) Look for all those areas you can make a change or cut back, and put that money aside.<span>  </span>You would be surprised how quickly the money will add up.<span>  </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Set up automatic savings </strong>have 5%-10% of your paycheck automatically transferred to a savings account.<span>  </span>You never see this money in your account, so you can’t spend it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Coupons </strong><span> </span><span> </span>when reviewing your food budget plan your menus around the items that are on sale, clip and use coupons, aggressively.<span>  </span>Don’t be afraid to ask you grocer to match prices. You will be surprised how much it will save you.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Lunch </strong>do you go out to lunch every day and spend at least $10.00? Imagine that is $50.00 per week, $200 a month, $2400 a year.<span>  </span>$2400 added to your other savings!!!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Coffee </strong>perhaps that coffee habit of $5.00 a day, you could kick. $5.00 a day times 5=$25.00 a week, $100 a month, $1200 a year.
