Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 29, 2015

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. We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget.

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. Our youngest daughter’s dresser practically disintegrated into pieces over the holiday break. In 2015, the monthly challenge will be Choose Thrift First.

It’s easy to make the switch, and with these items not on my grocery list, I’ve made more room in my grocery budget for actual food. Rather than purchasing new, check to see if you can borrow from a friend, barter, or buy second hand. We are currently trying to teach our daughters this simple habit.

Look for money within your budget and find creative ways to earn extra money. 8 – Rethink your gift spending and create a budget for the year. I truly am not opposed to shopping at retail stores, but I regularly find what I need for myself and my daughters at thrift stores and spend a fraction of the price.

We hit our Annual Household Portion (kind of like a deductible) of $10,000 with Medi-Share in 2017 when our daughter had an unexpected medical condition arise that required multiple tests, 3 surgeries, and medication. However, there are a few things that we will not give up so I will need to include them in our budget.
