Re: Down Payment
we saved for a 1year, like 2 lunatics. We were like 2 scrooges going to the bank every week waiting to reach our goal.

Re: Down Payment
My MIL... the most generous woman in the world. We're looking to buy another house now, and we have half the downpayment in savings and for the rest we're taking a home equity line for our current house and will pay it off with the profit we'll make on selling it.

Re: Down Payment
We have no "profit" from our wedding- it cost us
Nobody gifting us anything
No prior homes we've owned to cash in
No investments that hit big
We are using plain old fashioned savings from working our hineys off

Re: Down Payment
we put down 20%...from savings. Luckily DH is partly commission-based so before and after we were married, we were able to save those commission checks for the house.
