Why this question comes up

Goals fail when monthly savings are guessed instead of reverse-planned from the target date.

People rarely test how one new expense delays a long-term goal.

What to do next

Estimate down payment, fees, and a realistic inflation-adjusted target.

Calculate the monthly investment needed to reach that target in time.

Treat large discretionary expenses as trade-offs against the home timeline.
