We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. Finances have definitely been the biggest strain in our 11 years of marriage. Who handles the day-to-day finances in your home or do you work on it equally? How often do you and your spouse discuss your finances/budget/spending?

As a young mom, I saved like mad – going to garage sales, thrift stores and accepting hand me downs on toys and clothing. As a retiree, I started out as a saver, unsure how the finances were all going to work out (especially since I retired during the last recession). Over my life, I have been primarily a saver.

However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. On their personal finance site, US News suggested that some kids get games they don’t want and can’t be returned. I always shop for Christmas wrapping paper, gift tags, boxes and really nice ornaments the week after Christmas.

That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. I happened upon some old canning Mason jars at a garage sale, and now we use those for everything–making iced tea in the summer, putting leftover soup in, holding our homemade laundry detergent. Throwing those away isn’t good for the environment.
