31 Tips to Save For a House Down Payment

Earlier this year, I shared my worries about saving for both retirement and a house.

JD at Get Rich Slowly offered to ask his readers to share their tips for saving for a down payment and, as of this blogging, they've offered up 31 suggestions.

Many of the commenters suggested online savings accounts, like I'm presently using. Others said money market accounts, treasury bills, CDs (not a real option for me since I'm waiting to buy because I need to accumulate the money first), selling things, and not putting anything down at all.

In the time since I posed the question to the Get Rich Slowly audience, I've started using my HSBC online savings account (which I used before moving to E-Loan) and set up monthly deposits to fund it.

Thanks to JD for posing my question to his readers — to see all of their responses, hop on over to Get Rich Slowly.
