24, The Blank Slate - How would you mold me?

Hey Reddit, so I am looking for recommendations on how to best prepare for the future. I'm currently single, 24, making ~77,000/year before taxes and putting 8% into my 401(k) @ 4% employer match. I recently purchased a new 2015 Accord at 0.9% APR (for 6 years) with $14,000 still left to pay but my student loans are paid off. I'm sitting on roughly $40,000 in tangible assets through my savings account (I loaned and additional $12k to my mother which I won't expect to see in full for another ~5 years). I would like to purchase a house within the next 5 years or so I would probably be looking at spending around $165,000 (+/-15k).

My monthly expenses are as follows:

• $1,250 rent (includes all utilities from water, electric, washer/dryer, internet, etc.)
• ~$80/mo on gas for the car
• $75 cell phone

• $250 groceries and necessities

• $100 for car insurance
• I generally pay about $350 or so towards the car each month even though my payment is about $175
• $60/mo for health insurance
• $12 renter's insurace
• maybe $100 for misc expenses for fun including food, wine, entertainment, etc

Essentially I end up saving about $1500 a month, excluding December for Christmas related expenses.

With my current goal of obtaining a house in the coming years, what do you recommend I do with managing my finances?

Thanks
