Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 26, 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. March Update: I did a little shopping in March and it was mostly for our oldest daughter.

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. I found a pair of blue jeans for myself for $3 and some clothes for my daughters for $1 a piece. See you on Thursday, March 26.

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. Folks did we just enter the twilight zone?! Budget items we are temporarily stopping for now: EVERYTHING ELSE! Boy, are we glad we made that decision.

Americans pride themselves on their ‘Yankee ingenuity’ – making do or doing without. I was without power for a week one cold Midwest March. Extra clothes & shoes. It has just never been economically justifiable. Yes it was a bit uncomfortable, but not unlivable. Firearm & ammo. Sewing kit.
