Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 11, 2020

I have written often about the importance of an emergency fund. How I’m managing our family budget during the Pandemic: We pay ourselves at the beginning of each month, so when this crisis started in mid-March, we were covered for the month. Budget items we are temporarily stopping for now: EVERYTHING ELSE!

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. What We Won’t Give Up. We will continue to save for travel and it is already part of our budget. I think I’ll survive.

I want to challenge myself to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. What We Won’t Give Up: My motto has always been “living well on less” and now it will be “living well on (even) less”. Choose Thrift First.
