The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 27, 2023

We don’t live super frugally, but we do live well within our means and try not to be wasteful with our resources. I only started reading the blog when I saw Kristen’s post about her separation and was curious what had happened. We make regular trips to visit family, but don’t really do any other traveling.

Hello and welcome to the 316th Carnival of Personal Finance- Family Edition. This week I am reminding you all about those special people in your life- your family. It was during this rather taxing weekend that I was reminded of how great a loving family can be. Families are our rock, our support system, and our fans.

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. In fact, I found an old blog post of mine recently where I shared how I made over $300 at our annual neighborhood yard sale! Oh well, I thought–I can sleep in that weekend. Yard Sale: $87. My husband had other ideas.

It was so big that I cried for two days straight– we paid off six figures in non-mortgage debts. How we got to six figures of non-mortgage debt: In the summer of 2012, we found an opportunity to purchase an office building for our small business.
