    About this ebook

    I started my family before I even considered buying a house. At the time, we were living in sunny San Diego, California.

     

    In 2008, we received orders to Yuma, Arizona, and homeownership became much more realistic. We bought our first home in a small town and never looked back.

     

    My wife and I have amassed our wealth because we bought multiple homes in small towns instead of buying one house in a big city.

     

    As you can tell, I am a massive proponent of living in small towns. It gives us family people an enormous advantage in homeownership. Good Luck!

      01  Saving for a House Down Payment #5: Family, Small City

      Did you wait until you were married and had a family before buying a home? Don’t worry; that’s what I did as well. Having a family definitely changes the dynamic of saving for a home, but it gives you two distinct advantages.

      First, your family gives you the drive and determination to succeed in saving for a house down payment. Second, it clarifies what you actually need in a home.

      Welcome back to the Saving for a House Down Payment series (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4), where we discuss how to save in any situation.

      It’s Raining Money: How Dividends Can Change Your Life

      Understanding the pitfalls of saving with a family. Understanding your unique situation is the most challenging part of saving with a family.

      Raising a family is the most expensive thing you can do in America. Everyone wants your money; you’ll have to spend money to survive, entertain, and protect.

      If you don’t truly appreciate the gravity of your situation, read "The American Dream Costs $5 Million." This article will explain why you must take this milestone in life seriously.

      Luckily, you live in a small town and can afford to get ahead in life. Trust me; after living in San Diego for three months, I greatly appreciate my life in small cities.
