As much as I wanted to downsize (from lg apt to owning a small condo) in the coming months, I told my 2 sons to make the move with me and save money to purchase their own property when they're done with school and are financially stable. They don't hv children and aren't irresponsible slackers, so what's the rush? Should I decide to relocate, they can rent it or buy it from me then sell it when they can afford a new home or rental property. Screw what ppl think and if a woman doesn't understand that they're preparing for they're future, then they need another woman. Lol

      @@symonerae07 I messed up my credit with student loans when I was really young and ended up having to work with a consolidation company just to get it out of collections. As long as you put up with the high rates....and pay them up for at least half a year or so, you can go to your bank and from there (hopefully) now that your credit is better get a consolidation loan through them. It's not pretty...but it's better than gambling or selling everything you own in hopes to pay it all up front... or selling your soul to pay it off while still keeping a low credit. I definitely recommend if someone has a big loan in collections to try some of those companies and do their research on them if they think they can keep up with the payments....it feels like a chance at life again. I wish I knew more about spending and credit when I was younger!

We had a surprise of having to pay our annual home insurance in full. We had to buy a lawn mover and snow blower too. 😍🥰 My parents helped us but we still were struggling a little bit because we still had living expenses ( kids/daycare... etc)

    It’s best to save like $15,000 - $20,000 I’m thinking to be more comfortable and to get everything you would need. Everything you’re saying is so true. I watched my mom buy her house decades ago. She actually was a single mother taking care of me and my sister. She didn’t have a whole lot saved. But she brought new items early before we moved in lol.... it all ended up working out. Also she had to purchase a new refrigerator 🤦🏾‍♀️ everything you’re saying is so true. Thanks for sharing 💗

    Your videos are so informative and you explain things in a way I can understand, so kudos to you! I've been manifesting to purchase early next year. I just moved into my new apartment and I don't want to rent anymore; let's not talk about the moving truck cost 😪. This video came right on time. I knew I would need to save, so at the beginning of the year I chose to do a Save $10k a Year Challenge. In addition I've picked up two side hustles with a third one in process. I'm trying to make that money back and buy my home. But thank you so much for these videos!

    Love your videos! So question, I know that it’s ideal to have two years at your job or in your field, I spoke to someone that said my one year of schooling with medical billing and coding would count towards those two years but because of Covid and schools being closed and not having childcare I haven’t been able to get back to work until JUST now so I have a bout a years gap.
    Our situations like this take into account or do you think I’ll have to start my whole two years all over? (Hope that makes sense)

    I'm trying to buy a home now and found myself stumped with how much more difficult it is to get approved for a loan than I initially thought. Those student loans are killing me! I decided to wait a few more months and in the mean time I'm moving back in with my parents so I can save probably most of my monthly income. You weren't lying about sacrifice!

    @MsStarryNights Před 3 lety +5

    Hi Ciara! Question. I’m looking to possibly get my first home by end of the year, however, my husband and I have some debts to pay off. Realistically, I don’t expect them to be 100% paid off by end of the year, but either halfway or almost. Because of that it will be hard to save for closing cost and furniture (I’m using my VA loan so no down payment). Would you recommend that I focus more on savings for that and once I get that done, then continue to pay off debts? I’m just wondering how we would look to lenders having credit card debt (I’m around the 42% mark of available credit that needs to be paid off)? I do know we at least meet the guidelines for credit scores and nothing is in default on our credit. Thank you!

    I was curious about the Administrative deferment and how this will change the type of loans someone may be eligible for. I spoke with a bank and they said with a letter, they don't count student loans right now. Would not counting student loans into the DTI make you eligible for different loan types?
