Buying an Alveo condoCebu can sometimes be demanding, especially when it comes to the down payments. Of course, you cannot have your own house without any down payments. And for some, looking for money is the one of the hardest part of the process.

Considering the bills that were piling up, it is understandable that sometimes we cannot save money due to some circumstances. We pay the bill here and there leaving money just enough for our daily needs. What else to save?

Some of you are planning to invest in a condo and thinking to start saving for the down payments yet you don’t know how and where to start. The only difficult thing to do is the first step you have to make – and that is to start saving.


Set a realistic goal
When saving for your down payment, do not save all of your money to the extent where you don’t have anything else left for your everyday needs.  You have to know the cost and how much are you going to pay for the down payment of the condo or the house that you are about to invest.

Try to be realistic in a way where you can still continue living while saving. You can still have a budget for the groceries and other important things that you need to buy.  Do not try to save your money one time because it will really be hard on your part.

Sell stuff you don’t need

I’m sure you all have stuffs in your room or backyard that needs to be disposed. And instead of throwing it away, why don’t you try selling it to your friends, families or neighbors. Have a garage sale. In that why, you will have an extra income and money to save for you down payment.

Also, do not sell your things in an overly priced one. The cheaper your price is, the more people will like to buy your stuff. It must be lower than the original price when you bought it since it is already used. And of course, do not sell things that are not useful anymore. Sell your things that you no longer used yet it is still useful for the others.

Minimize the expensive

Yes this! If you want to save more, try not to spend too much on the things that are too expensive for you to have. There are still other things that are cheaper yet the function or the purpose of the product is still the same. When you go shopping, try not to go to an expensive store for you not to be tempted.

Well, going to an expensive places is not a bad thing at all if you know how control and not be tempted on buying the things that are expensive and not that useful to you. Try to discipline yourself if you are a shopaholic.

Get a part-time job

If you don’t have an extra income for you to have money for savings, why not try finding a part-time job? In that way, you will surely have an extra income for your savings. Also, you don’t have to worry in every day needs since you have already enough budget to spend.

Of course, find a job that you like for you not to regret later on applying in that particular job. Just make sure that the part-time job that you have will not have any complications of the time and other things that can hinder your main work. Having a part-time job is just there for you to help you in finding extra income.

Pay your debts

This is one of the reasons why you can save enough money because you still have a lot of things or debts that you need to pay. You have to pay here and there which leads to having nothing left for you to save for the down payments.

To save, you have to pay all of your debts first so that you don’t have to think about your debts when you pay your down payments. Always be reminded that having debts will cause you financial trouble if you don’t know how to handle it.
