As Marie Kondo says, “If it doesn’t spark joy, let it go!” Downsize and declutter your things by putting what you don't need up for sale to earn a little extra cash. Plus, if you have a hobby like baking or painting, consider turning that into a source of extra income to boost your home savings account.

Travel smart by planning your vacations around a budget and during non-peak seasons. For cheaper flight tickets, book in advance. For activities, purchase tickets in a group for bigger discounts. A bit of research before you travel can save you a little extra to park in your home savings account and get you even closer to owning your dream home.
