When looking for a new home on a budget, buying an older house or condo and renovating or remodeling it may seem like the ideal solution. Compared to a new house or apartment, you can save significantly and still have money left over after purchasing all the necessary amenities and making the necessary repairs. But how can we avoid making common mistakes and going over our heads and, more importantly, over budget with renovations? Important question. If you have asked yourself this question, you have taken the first step toward a successful and financially viable renovation of your old home or condo. Of course the same is closely related to renovating your current homeas well as your new home. After all, there is nothing more foolish than to have your initial cost-cutting move quickly nullified and trumped by many mindless decisions that end up costing you a lot of money.

Buying one new household item after another is one of the most basic mistakes. Your overall budget appears to be generous and you think that expensive chair will blend in there, but don\’t believe it! You will soon have several such “chairs” and your budget will be long gone. Of course, you cannot buy everything at once and have money left over for every item. But there is another solution. Yes, you guessed it, it is an itemized budget
