Putting my dreams on hold for reality!!!!!!

I've decided my goal was pretty unrealistic, and due to unpredictible circumstances I am forced to put my dream of owning a home on hold yet again this time hopefully only for 6 more months.  Our finances have taken a dip.  They seem to every year around this time, I haven't figured out why.   At this point in the year we seem to almost always go broke *and No it's not because of christmas shopping I haven't even started that yet* ;)  !  

Last night I had to be frugal queen LOL... We needed diapers, cat litter, Milk, Bread, Mayonaise, Drinks for Hubby's Lunch, & a few odds & ends things that we absolutely needed But we only had $20.  It was an interesting trip to the store But I managed to get all I needed & still have $2 left over for gas ... Yes I am that broke that I didnt even buy a full gallon of gas !!  

My new goal is simple, I will work harder & do as much as I possiably can to get that down payment together. I'm giving myself 6 months to come up with whatever amount I can to put twards the down payment.  If we stay in this tiny apartment much longer than 6 months I may go insane LOL!!

Have you checked into programs that offer down payment assistance like Chapa? Neighborhood gold? There are alot of wonderful housing programs out there even for people with tighter budgets. Good luck to you! There's nothing more exciting than working towards a dream :-D
