What about my other financial goals —
what happens to them?

Review all of your SMART financial goals. Where do they fit in with homeownership? Will you still be able to save money for them? If you can’t, that might be OK. Improving your financial fitness to qualify for a Habitat home has been important to you, and now you’re close to taking the plunge. However, give your other financial goals consideration in your home-buying process. You might want to modify those goals as you close in on buying a Habitat home.
