My fiance and I live together in a small basement apartment in santaquin Utah. There are very very few options within a budget for us as I am self employed running a cosmetology business and he is in the process of getting hired on with a fire station. We save and save more and more money and it’s never enough. We budget beyond belief just to afford a place to live and be able to eat. Our budgeting and saving is something we do in hopes that we will be able to afford a home that will fit a family some day. It’s a huge goal of ours but that goal seems so unachieveable with how high the cost of living is just to get into a small started home or even an apartment. We are getting married in March and have hopes to start a family after about a year, but finding space to accommodate that at a price that is even somewhat affordable is nearly impossible.
