Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

Our emergency fund. I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive. We reduced our spending where we could, but the money to pay any shortfall each month came from our emergency fund. Storm #2: 2013.

It has been my obsession goal since we found ourselves in a dicey situation back in August 2013. That was the month I didn’t know if we had enough funds to cover our expenses. Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. Choose Thrift First. The Game Plan: 1.

I started the Debt Free Stories interview series back in September and it has been really well received. Choose Thrift First Challenge. In 2013, The Christmas Savings Club encouraged all of us to save monthly so that we could have a cash Christmas. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be the Choose Thrift First Challenge.

Choose Thrift First. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store. Plan our Spending.
