Family Balance Sheet
JANUARY 5, 2015
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 Choose Thrift First. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target or Kohl’s when I’m in that part of town. The Choose Thrift First Challenge.

I still use my spreadsheet to this day! Yep, life was good.

It has been my obsession goal since we found ourselves in a dicey situation back in August 2013. Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. Choose Thrift First. As God is my witness, it WILL be the year that we pay off the last of our non-mortgage debt.

Our journey to debt freedom started back in 2013 when we found ourselves saddled with business and student loans. I had no problem shopping at a thrift store, avoiding restaurants, and not having cable TV, but I didn’t want to give up camping and watching my daughters’ swim meets.
