Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 4, 2020

Since November is always a big month for sales and coupons and the beginning of the cold season, I do most of my winter clothing shopping during this month. While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. Yes, please! stuff: $40.

This past winter I cleaned out closets and drawers in my quest to minimize and downsize our stuff and donated everything to the thrift store, rather than hold on to it for the spring sale. My beautiful petunias in 2020. I made quite a bit more from the 4th quarter of 2020 where I do most of my Christmas shopping.

January & February 2020 – Life is good! We also started shopping around for a new-to-us vehicle. March 2020 arrived. It’s scary to think about where we would be if we hadn’t worked our plan and made the sacrifices prior to March 2020. We were feeling pretty good about the new year.
