Securing your dream home
Most people aspire to homeownership, but soaring prices can make this seem unattainable. However, with a sound, savings-based financial plan, accumulating the necessary funds for a deposit and securing your dream home is possible.

Rising inflation
Over the past decade, house prices have escalated. If your ideal home’s value is €200,000 today, it might significantly increase in five years. If you’re only saving on deposit, you might fall behind your house deposit goals.

Saving choices
Bank deposits are often considered safe but pose a challenge when saving for significant milestones like buying a house. Especially with today’s low-interest rates, your money might not grow fast enough.

Getting your savings working
Your savings strategy depends on your monthly saving capacity. Start by determining your deposit amount, the time you have for your savings to grow, and the financial vehicles that best serve your objectives.
