What would you do in my position?

I’m (29F) seeking some guidance on how I can reach my goals and finally get my life on track. As a first gen American sometimes I feel like I missed all the best tips and tricks on investing and saving beyond the simple savings account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry in advance for the long post but I want to give enough info. I am not at all proud of where I am in life because of my past struggles with depression/some health issues. But here is my current situation:

29F have just started a new remote job that pays 65k. Net pay will be about 50k. ~4100 a month. Yes the pay is very low but after being unemployed for over a year and having to go through my savings I jumped at the opportunity.

During this time I will be living with my parents rent free. I take care of my family and we’re all very close, but I dream of owning my own home. Living right outside the DC area, this is quite ambitious for someone who’s only making 65k..but I don’t want to throw away money on rent either.

My goal is to save as much as I possibly can but I wanted to know what others would do in my position? How would you make the most of it? I will set up a high yield savings account of course but aside from that I’m lost. Am I being silly to think I can save up for a home after a year or two even with the assistance of first time home buyer programs?

I lost my 20s to depression and family obligations. I’m SO ready to take control of my life and experience some financial stability and freedom.
