Success Story
Mr. Taylor: I would like to share my home ownership journey and the ups and downs that I experienced. The biggest lesson learned from the classes and counseling were the programs offered for down payments in New Jersey as well as the basic information about credit cards, savings and investing. It may be simple facts but it was truly helpful. In terms of financial responsibility and changes I’ve made, I stopped using my credit card and started spending with my debit card. I felt that I was overspending and would lose track of purchases. Switching to the debit card made me more accountable and could only spend what I had. I also started saving every paycheck allowing my savings to grow. Lastly, one of the hardest things that I had to change was my habit of eating out. I really enjoy trying new restaurants and having the experience but I knew that it cost me a good chunk of my check. I am happy to say I closed on my home June 2024.
