Best Strategy Saving for Home Down Payment

by "Mike" <MIke@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jan 21, 2008 at 10:42 PM

Hello all,

I am in the process of saving for a 20% down payment for a home that I'd 
like to purchase in about 1-2 years.  I'm currently 28, earning 75K a
year. 
I've tried to maximize my 401K contributions and Roth IRA as much as 
possible, but in doing so, I'm not able to save as quickly for the down 
payment as I'd like.  What is the best strategy for how I should save for 
down payment without fully neglecting retirement savings.  For now, I've 
scaled back my retirement contributions so as to get the company match,
but 
don't know if that's the best strategy (i.e. should I contribute more or 
just focus all the remaining savings towards my down payment?).  Thanks in

advance.

Mike
