First things first, the power of a Help to Buy ISA. Lauren opened hers at 21 when she started her teaching job. By saving £200 a month, she was prepared to buy before turning 24. 🏦

Living at home was a game-changer! Paying minimal rent to parents allowed her to save more. When she moved to the city, she and her partner stayed with his parents for a year before buying their own place. πŸ“

Teaming up made a huge difference too! Splitting the Β£30,000 savings goal with her partner made it much more doable. Having a second income really helps. πŸ’‘

Lauren acknowledges her full-time job at 21 was a big boost in reaching her goal. Combining income with her partner to handle fees was crucial. 🌟

Achieving homeownership at 25 might seem daunting, but as Lauren says, having a good plan and the right circumstances can get you there. Whether it’s through living at home, saving consistently, or splitting costs, every little bit helps.

πŸ—¨οΈ One fan commented: “Such an achievement!! Well done.” Another added: “Living at home is the one. Not the easiest & obviously not available to everyone but if you do, it’ll help hugely!!”
