Family Balance Sheet

After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser. For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new. 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. For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new. For curiosity sake, I stopped by a local furniture store and saw some really cute new dressers that cost $500-$700.
