Hey guys! I danced for a little less than a year (9 months) and almost made 90k. Now that I am going to have a baby, I want to have a nice house by the time I am 30, that's in ten years. I'd like to get something around 500k. My boyfriend (baby daddy) has a good job for his age and with experience, he will be making more money in his career. I will be going back to dancing after baby is here by the time I'm 22 at the latest and I am currently in school so I will hopefully have a career once I hit my 30's and become a home owner. My question is, what can I start doing NOW that will make the process easier in 10 years when we are ready to purchase? Worst case scenario, I become a single mother so I lose my boyfriends income but I know I still want a big house for me and my family. I would like to put a fat down payment or pay the house in full but I've heard I can get audited if I do that. Also, I have credit but it's very poor, although I'm working on it. How much should I be saving? How much should I be reporting as far as taxes go so I don't get audited? How much should I deposit in the bank and how often? Should I have a cash stack at home? Thank you guys!
