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. We will continue to save for travel and it is already part of our budget. I think I’ll survive. Choose Thrift First. Home Projects.

JANUARY 1, 2015

Every January 1, I get caught up in the hopeful feeling of the upcoming new year. My husband and I make some financial goals at the start of every year. Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey.

I have started calling around for fees and hope to have this complete by end of January. 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. Choose Thrift First. Plan our Spending.
