Skip the Bagel, and You Can Own a Home

Every day I meet people who claim that they would like to own a home, yet think that they cannot afford it.

I wonder why they cannot afford a home, many of them have adequate income, certainly more than I had when I bought my first home, some of them make more than I make now and I have a pile of homes these days.

But then when you notice how these good folks spend their money it is apparent why they don't have any money left for the important things like savings or investing in a home.

They cant seem to give up the essentials, like alcohol, smokes, Starbucks, and of course a fancy bagel every morning.

What are some of the things that you could give up that may be preventing you from building wealth with real estate?

  • An overpriced vehicle?
  • Your morning latte?
  • A trip to the bar or liquor store?
  • The latest toy for your kids or yourself?
  • Cable TV?
  • Lunch at the restaurant instead of packing a sandwich?
  • Other short term indulgences that are costing you future wealth?

 

Skip the bagel, Dave Savage

 

Drive a cheap car, live a simple life and you can be the richest person in the neighborhood!

And when you do buy that first house, don't max out your finances, buy a simple home so that you will have money left over to invest in the house next door too.

Will,  I think many people just don't want to change their lifestyle and aren't willing to sacrifce their vices for a home of their own.  This makes perfect sense.

Will, 

Thanks for the reblog. Savings add up and quickly. Rarely do I eat lunch anywhere but in the office these days. Saves lots of cash money!
