With the arrival of the new year, our hopes and vision of our future are renewed, and we set goals to meet during 2021. A recurring New Year’s resolution is the purchase of your own home that, although it is a clear objective, as months go by, we tend to get discouraged and see it as something distant and difficult.
The reality is that with initiative and establishing a savings plan, it is possible to reach the goal and become owners of the home we dream of so much. For that, we must get to work as soon as possible, carry out an analysis of our finances and define our savings goals.
If your goal for this year that is just beginning is to buy a property, these 5 savings tips will help you achieve it by 2021:
Spend conscientiously
Most of the time we let ourselves be tempted by advertisements and we buy items or hire services that we do not need or are not essential. If your car has no problems, but you were thinking of changing it for a newer model, it is recommended that you leave it for another opportunity, since it would represent a large outlay, and save that money.
Even the small expenses, do not mean a significant outlay daily, but we would be surprised if we calculate how much money we could save if we avoided those small consumptions. If you want to reach the goal, you must cut expenses.
Generate extra income
Without leaving aside your full-time job, you can earn extra income by doing another activity in your free time. You can even do something online, without leaving the comfort of your home. If you have knowledge in finance, marketing, law, administration or in other areas, you can offer your consulting services online, which are usually highly required and well paid.
Do not incur new debts
It may seem like a no-brainer, but if you are on a savings plan, you must avoid incurring in new debt. As tempting as it may seem, then you will have to pay the interests that are usually high. In addition, if to cover the entire payment of your future home you plan to acquire a mortgage loan, it is important that you have as less debt liabilities as possible. Financial entities evaluate the credit history before granting a mortgage loan.
Diversify your savings
To get the most out of your savings and keep them safe, the ideal is to diversify them. You can allocate a part to a bank deposit, another percentage to invest it, you can save in different currencies or if you wish you can even buy gold coins. Gold in recent years has become an excellent option to grow your wealth.
Make short-term investments
One way to increase savings and keep them safe (and secure from our temptations) is by making investments. If you have some basic knowledge, you can easily invest in the stock market.
You can also make fixed-term bank deposits that earn interest. There are different short-term plans, having the possibility of withdrawing your money in a month, three months, 6 months and even a year. Most banks allow these contracts to be made through their websites or applications.
We hope you start the year applying these tips, so that during the course of 2021 you achieve the goal of buying the home you want so much.
