You’ve made a down payment on a house...congratulations! Purchasing a new home is cause for serious celebration—but then you get a reality check. After years of hard work and saving up for this big moment, it’s time to start all over to rebuild your nest egg. EXIT Realty Upper Midwest understands your struggle. They have 28 independently owned real estate offices all residential throughout the upper Midwest. As a top real estate agency and employer for careers in real estate, they help individuals achieve their dreams of home ownership while supporting their real estate agents with a portion of the revenue to reach their own goals.

Whether you want to prepare for the next real estate investing opportunity or just for a rainy day, here are three great ways to get back to saving:

• Make it a Game: Try a savings challenge to spur your competitive streak—even if you’re only competing against yourself. Challenge yourself to spend no money on indulgences for a week, or even a month, or commit to a week-to-week savings plan.
• Set Specific Goals: Sometimes an unfocused goal, like “save as much as possible whenever possible,” can feel overwhelming and endless. Try setting a specific goal, like “save $5,000 by a specific date,” and consider rewarding yourself after you hit your goal. If you need help determining how much you should save for your next real estate investing, call a helpful agent at EXIT Realty Upper Midwest.
• Harness The Power of Visualization: Whether it’s a new car or your next real estate investing dream, visualizing your goal is a great way to make your saving goals seem real and reachable.
