Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

As the Family Office Manager , I handle the day-to-day finances for our family and I needed a way to communicate our finances to my husband. Our small business was going well, so we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property in the summer of 2012. I still use my spreadsheet to this day!

Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey. I started the Debt Free Stories interview series back in September and it has been really well received. Choose Thrift First Challenge.

I loved the way it looked and I hope to have somewhere to wear it that way in the future, but an exposed slip didn’t seem just the thing for an office. I was originally going to keep it at the office, but I decided not to, because it’s just too nice for that. Bag, vintage, thrifted by Nathan. Even one as casual as mine.*

I own a software consultancy that I run from home and my husband is a letter carrier with the post office. Be willing to sacrifice- there are things we had to do that made us look weird: home school, skip eating out as much with family, doing my own hair & nails, getting a wardrobe from the thrift store and forgoing paper towels.

I had this outfit sort of planned in my head with a much simpler coral beaded necklace, but since I had altered this one, I swapped it in and I think it works really well. I almost can’t stand a closed shoe in June, July and August outside of the office, where I proceed to take them off and air out my tootsies as soon as sit down.

I moved the furniture around; I had left it the same as when I took over this office and had never really been comfortable. Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. I found I had more spare time to spend with the family as well. Do I need it?

I had my first day at Buffalo Exchange yesterday and it went really well. I think the transition of going from both working in an office with a dress code and the restrictions of 30x30 to being able to literally wear anything I want at any time, is sort of overwhelming. It basically makes fun of everyone I know, including myself.

I don’t want to get too much into the whole thing here (Sally and her amazing readers cover it really well here ) but I will speak to my personal feelings about comments. I can almost hear the burlesque music in the background all day each time I so much as walk to the office kitchen for a cup of tea. I like them. Shake, Shake, Shake.

But as it is, the pants are a little over the top tight, and I didn’t feel like I could really get away with too tight pants, AND a sexy harness type thing at the office. I toned the whole thing down with a blazer as well. I know the pics are a bit fuzzy, but I promise. The pants are tight. They have an elastic waistband.

But my office is like a Frigidaire, so I am still rocking a jacket and boots. I didn’t get boobs until I was well into my 20’s.

Choose Thrift First. While I love thrift stores, I can be easily swayed to run into Target, TJ Maxx, and/or Kohl’s when I feel like I need something. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store. Plan our Spending.
