Family Balance Sheet
JANUARY 11, 2019
In previous years, I would create a long list of financial goals, only to have little accomplished by the end of the December. I almost stopped writing goals down altogether. In 2018, we decided to focus on just 2 main financial goals and before I share my 2019 goals I thought I would give you a recap on 2018.

Review your Yearly Goals. On January 1st, many of us are very gung-ho about writing goals but are we as enthusiastic about those goals on March 12? Do our goals still make sense now that we’re in the trenches of the new year? Take some time to review your yearly financial goals. M – measurable.

But we have some serious financial goals to hit and the grocery budget is an easy target when it comes to cutting the budget. I felt like March was somewhat of a success. Our grocery budget since January has been $450 , which is down from an average of $600 last year, but I wanted to see if I could get it to $400 for March.
