Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 12, 2014

If you’ve read my blog, you’ve probably heard me say that our bills may not be negotiable, but our grocery receipts usually are.

We have a lot of free parks and nature reserves for hiking, and a wonderful library system that does free Inter Library Loans as well as lots of e-books. Also, we’re by a military base, so it’s a little easier to find houses to rent if you know when people will be PCSing out and needing to rent out their homes.

Stop Spending, BUT still live well: 1 – Declare a “Needs Only” month. How much can you save just by cutting out non-essential spending? Challenge yourself to question your purchases and spending through out the month and see how much you can save. 6 – Eat dinner at home. 25 – Start a blog.
