Saving for a down payment is one of the most important steps during the home buying process, in fact it is where everything gets started. To qualify for a mortgage, you will need to have some sort of down payment. The source of this down payment will hopefully be your savings as you do not want to get a loan on top of another loan. In order to be able to accomplish your financial goals, be motivated and completely secure of what do you want to get. If you are looking for a home, a car, a boat, or any other future plan, following the steps below will help you to save the money you will need in the future.


1. Be clear of what do you want to achieve: Being clear of your specific goals and the use you will give to the money you are trying to save, will create a motivation to continue your efforts towards saving. Having a goal and having it present in your thoughts, will make much more achievable.


2. Create a budget: Take a look on what are you spending your money right now, do not miss anything and write down all the expenses. After you have all your expenses listed, decide which ones are not really a priority and which ones can you cut off completely. Even the most insignificant expense you have can make a big difference if you decide to stop it and save that money instead.


3. Save the HALF of ALL your extra money: If you are used to certain life style and some extra money comes to you from a gift, a payment raise, or whatever situation might be, you will certainly think a bout celebrating and spending that money but if you really want to save for your future big investments then separate the half of that extra cash and save it.


4. Take a look at especial investments or accounts in your bank: There are especial accounts for home buyers or people who want to save money with the chances it will grow and also be tax free. Consult your options with your financial planner. Financial planners can recommend you an specific account for your specific financial situation and saving goals.


5.Take care of all your fixed debts: Be always sure to pay first your monthly debts, after you pay them you will be able to see how your credit score will be going up and the chances for you to get a loan will increase as your fixed debts like credit cards, phone bills, etc are being paid on time.


Those are my top tips when saving money, I hope it can help you to get you dream car, house, or whatever you want! Everything becomes possible if you have perseverance and put effort to make your dreams become reality.
