Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 30, 2015

My cousin’s mother’s husband’s uncle’s wife’s sister on Facebook brought bed bugs into her house when she bought a used sofa off of Craigslist… shudder, the story still makes me itch and I think we’ll be buying a new sofa. My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip.

After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser. My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip. Daughter and mommy were both thrilled. Instead of buying new this year, ask yourself these questions: Can I borrow from someone?

That’s motivation to take some time to scour Craigslist and some local second hand furniture stores this week. My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip. For curiosity sake, I stopped by a local furniture store and saw some really cute new dressers that cost $500-$700. The Choose Thrift First Challenge.

On Sundays, we’ll meet here to catch our breath, and let everyone know how we’re finding our $1000. I was the mother of a toddler and a baby and I loaded them up in the van and headed to a jewelry store where I ran into a camera crew and walked out with $150 in cash.
