Some of these short turn-around times for saving deposits are impressive and make me feel very inadequate!
I've been saving (and payoff off consumer debt at the same time) for over 3 years and I still don't have a sizeable deposit.
I certainly don't see myself as a whinger about the way things are, but this thread does make me question why it's taking me so bloody long to get my deposit together. What am I doing wrong?! I follow my budget, I don't spend excessively (feel like I'm constantly 'missing out' on things because I'm trying to siphon everything onto my debt to get rid of it) and yet it feels like I'm doing something wrong because everything is taking so long for me.
I guess I need to take being jobless for over 12months during this period into account...and also not having the opportunity to live rent-free with relatives, or move out of Sydney to a cheaper area. But still! How many books on shifting financial mindsets does one have to read before it really sinks in and you can become someone who can channel EVERY dollar into your investment goals to achieve what you want?!
(Would actually really appreciate some honest responses)
Sigh first one is never easy....
