Happy chap: Kaleb makes home dream come true [Video]

KALEB Crossey has turned his homeownership dreams into reality.

The 27-year-old, who grew up in Burnie, says he wanted to achieve this sooner rather than later — and he had a strategy.

The idea was to enter the property market early, giving him the next 10 years to pay off his mortgage and set himself up for future investments, including possibly buying a second property down the track.

“I’ve always been pretty good with money. I make sure I spend less than I earn. It’s been a key to my success, and that’s how I’ve been able to save up for this home,” the courier driver said.

“I’m frugal, but not in a way that affects my quality of life. I don’t eat out much, I don’t waste money on things I don’t need.”
