Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 5, 2015

In 2014, the Grocery Budget Challenge encouraged us to keep our grocery spending in line and to be creative with our meal planning so that we do not over-spend. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be Choose Thrift First. Can I make do with something else around my house? This challenge already has me thinking differently.

And 2015 is no different. My husband and I make some financial goals at the start of every year. Tantrum aside, it’s still going to take years, but there is room for us to make some considerable progress in 2015. In 2015, I will be sharing our journey to significantly reduce our debt. My Themes for 2015: 1.

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. Can I make do with something else around my house? I can’t wait to see how much we will save in 2015.

Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. I think I’ll survive.
