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.

In 2013, The Christmas Savings Club encouraged all of us to save monthly so that we could have a cash Christmas. 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. See you on Thursday, January 29.

We have a retirement to plan , our daughters’ college to save for, and many places to visit. We will continue to save for travel and it is already part of our budget. I think I’ll survive.

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.
