Enrolling in Austin Community College and getting accepted into the Gaining Momentum Program was a game changer for me. The Gaining Momentum Program is designed to help people like me who struggle with managing their finances and achieving their financial goals. The knowledge and tools that I received have been life-changing. I learned how to create and stick to a budget, improve my credit score, and save money.
Despite all the knowledge and tools I gained, the question of how I was going to buy a home still loomed over me. Owning a home had always been a dream, but as I hit my 30s, I realized it would not be an easy journey. My credit score was low, and I was constantly stressed about money.
It wasn’t until I discovered the benefits of multigenerational living that I realized homeownership was within reach. After joining the military and later enrolling in a program that taught me how to manage my money better, I still didn’t know how I would be able to afford a home.
But then I stumbled upon an article about multigenerational living and how it was becoming more popular in the US. Initially, the idea of living with my mom again didn’t seem appealing, but when she unexpectedly needed major surgery, I knew I had to be there for her. We discussed our options and decided to buy a home together.
Living with my mom has been a great decision. We provide a stable environment for my children, save money on expenses, and build generational wealth that our family can be proud of. Even though it may not have been my first choice of achieving homeownership, saying that I own a home at 36 is an accomplishment that I am proud of.
I encourage anyone struggling with their finances and dreaming of homeownership to explore all their options. Multigenerational living can be a great way to combine resources and achieve your goals. Don’t let the fear of the unknown hold you back from achieving your dreams. Take the first step and see where it takes you.
Learning how to manage my finances better was a turning point for me. It gave me the confidence to take steps towards achieving my dreams, and when I discovered the benefits of multigenerational living, I realized that homeownership was within reach. Multigenerational living may not be for everyone, but for those struggling to achieve homeownership, it’s worth considering. It’s a great way to combine resources and provide a stable environment for your family. Don’t be afraid to explore all your options when it comes to achieving your dreams.
