One of my favorite places to hang out in our apartment is our newly decorated and furnished outdoor back porch. We bought a sectional couch with some throw pillows, twinkle lights, a lantern, and a citronella candle… and it’s so cozy! However, it’s also really far away from our wireless router indoors. At first, our WiFi signal was weak, so we weren’t able to work out there or listen to our Sonos speaker. But thankfully, Xfinity came to the rescue with its xFi Pods! They enhance and extend your WiFi coverage throughout your home, eliminating all those dead spots. We bought a three-pack and added xFi Pods to both ends of the house. Now we’re easily able to work on the internet and listen to music from our front or back porch!

As many of you know, we’re currently working to save for a down payment on a house! We started a debt-free journey last year, finished our fully-funded emergency fund, and now we’re taking a pause before moving onto another financial goal to save for a down payment. It’s always been my dream to be a homeowner, but after a few other financial hurdles in life (student loans, learning mistakes with credit cards, etc.) I wanted to make sure I did everything I could right before I made the biggest purchase of my life! Today I’m teaming up with MSHDA to chat about 10 ways to save for a down payment on a house — including things I’ve learned along the way in our journey!
