Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 5, 2015

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. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store.

Finally, we are able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and are more motivated than ever to pay off these final two loans. We have more important things to do with our money besides sending a large portion of it to the creditors every month. We will continue to save for travel and it is already part of our budget.

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.

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.
