Fixing Credit, Saving a Downpayment

My husband and I make about $70,000 between us. we want to buy a house in the next couple of months but his credit score is really low and unfortunately we have not saved a dime. What would you recommend to get his credit score higher and for us to save some money.

First, go read Fixing the Mess You Made

As for saving money for a home, how much do you want to have saved, and by when? If you want to have $20,000 saved in the next 24 months, then you'd divide 20,000 by 24 to get $833.33, which is how much you'd have to save each month. Good luck.
