Sign up for some consumer research survey companies. A lot are online now. If you can do 1 a month that could be your gas/grocery bill. Just a small tip for extra cash without doing much.

Create a budget to track where you are spending your money and figure out how to utilize your checks for better spending/saving.

You are well ahead so you are on the right track. You will be able to own a home.

I had no idea! I'll look up those surveys immediately, could help put a little more away each time. I budget a lot, because I have this goal so I am covered in that. Thank you so I much for the optimism! It's so incredible to hear positive things instead of the usual pessimism for the housing market I see on this sub. I love the community and seeing all the pictures but sometimes it weighs on you lol.

It is a bleak market the further up you go but South Jersey has so many beautiful options and the prices are much more reasonable.

Some of the sites I am a respondent for: QInsights, 2020 Panel, AO Opinions

Surveys average $50 for at home tests and then $125+ for online and in person focus groups. Some are $300 if it is a long at home test for a product.

There are a lot tho so do some research to find them and sign up. Good luck!
