Building a house is expensive but achievable. First is to look at your income and set a target. What size of land are you looking to buy? How big of a house do you wantSecond, rent reasonably. Don't give any landlord an amount of money that's making it difficult to save for your own house. You could get a suitably comfortable and spacious rental house that's not too expensive.Create a separate account for the house project. Ensure that the money that goes in never goes out unless for the specific project. If you own a car, don't let it drain you. If you can do without it on certain days, go for it and add the saved fuel to the house project. Public transport is not that bad. Make cuts on alcohol or any habits you can do without.
