Buying a house.

[Newbee123]

Hi ladies , I'm 25 with my first child. He's a 3 month old currently on maternity I work as a nursery nurse. My husband does rentals. We wanted to save up for a house but I don't think after my maternity finishes I can go back to work as I have no childcare and I can't take him to my nursery with me. Also it's very costly. I have savings put aside about 13k my husband has around 5k we just got married last year. So we are having trouble saving up while renting out a place for 1000 a month. How did you guys save up for a house ? Any advice ?

Look up Lifetime ISAs on Money Saving Expert and gov.uk. If you save 4K, the Gov top up with 1k. You are in the age criteria so this could potentially be 4K top up on your savings already. Sorry no tips on how to save with such high rent. Another income option might be to offer a babysitting service especially with your nursery experience. Good luck.
