Michael Petruccelli asks: What are some ideas to help me save for a down payment? (4)




Michael Petruccelli says:  Pack Your Lunch and Save $1,800.  If grownups took a page from their school days and packed a healthy lunch, and snacks too, they would save $1,800 a year. That’s because if you buy lunch out every day (cheaply, I might add), you spend more than $150 each month for that convenience. Sure, it’s nice to have someone else make you lunch, but I like the idea of $1,800 in my bank account at the end of the year better.
