Move in with a relieve and sleep on their couch for free (or $100 a month) as long as you can, and help out around the house as needed.Cut the grass, cook dinner now and then, fix the washing machine when the belt jump off, etc...If out have to eat out, eat at Taco Cabana (or similar good nutrition for cheap price) and always get the specials--no soda just drink free water.Get a second job or  temp job and work as much as you can and save up more than the needed next down payment.Do not spend money any new things, just save it all.Maybe a year or so of that will put you in CASH positive situation.Cash is King--Get Some--and get free,Good Luck!
