It prompted me to write a blog post about that very same thing if you're working towards buying a home or you're in that 2 year tight period after you just bought a home.
Stay Home! Yes, Stay Home!
(There Are Plenty of Other Books Like This One Too!)
But, we all know eating at home, watching movies on pay-per-view, playing games instead of going to a bar, & making your own moscow mule or mojito with your pals, will save you a boat-load of moolah!
*Lunch at CPK for two people, with gratuity, recently was $50.00 smackers. We could have eaten a salad at home for 15 max.
*Movie out? Eeeeeck. Well, just the movie is about 29 dollars. At home? 6 bucks.
*Playing Scrabble, Scattagories, etc. at home? FREE. Going to play, let's say miniature golf, what's that about 20 bucks for 2 minimum?
*Weekend Getaways? Um, I'm not even going to guesstimate a cost for that one. How about staying home, unplugging the cell phone/computer/TV, and going for free concerts, walks at the beach, hike up a mountain. FREE.
*Hanging out with your friends at Happy Hour? Grab a few cocktails from home, some healthy snacks....head to a park after work. The fresh air will do you and your friends better. And, yes, will cost a ton less.
Home is where the heart is. Yep, everyone has said that for years. Stop spending money to go out, stay in, save some money. Buy a condo, buy your first home, wait those 2 years I tell you it's going to be tight....then, enjoy your home ....staying at home....or, head out with some friends that don't want to break the bank going out. Trust me, there are those kinds of friends out there. I bet they are homeowners too....or saving to be one.
Questions about Southern California Real Estate? Just holler.
