Ive decided to save for a condo. Houses are waaay too much here still. Hopefully, I will probably be buying by the time I get out of junior college which is about 2-3 years from now.
The average price for a new condo is in the 400's. A conversion condo is about mid 200's on up.
I figure I need to save at least 30K to even be considered as an applicant. In the mean time I'll make sure to monitor my credit and not have anything late. Im still working enough to comfortabley support myself and save at the same time.
I saw what Melonie said as mentioned in another thread.
I know I'm all over the place these days. I think at this time saving for a condo or just saving a large lump sum in general would be best for me.Originally Posted by Melonie
I think that the "replacement income" would be a good place to start. Probably with a CD. I looked at bankrate to compare 6 month cd's so I can get started. (btw, I need a little help finding threads on CD's as I cant search with 2 letters) That way I can get my car faster so I can move on to getting my condo faster. Is there anything I can do to go about saving this much in a better way?

Thank you for the link as well. Makes me feel alot more confident about saving my money for something worthwhile besides education.
Everything makes better sense to me now.
