Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 20, 2023

The last time we wrote numbers-driven financial goals was 2019. <<— Once we paid off our non-mortgage debts in 2019, we started saving some of the debt snowball money for college savings. After our mortgage, grocery spending is our next largest expense. I spent about $870/month on groceries.

One month down for 2019. We have only one financial goal for 2019 and we made some progress in January. Groceries is the easiest budget category TO GET OUT of control and the easiest budget category TO control. To reign your grocery spending in, you must plan all of your meals. Use up all of those odd ingredients.

Pre-coronavirus, we didn’t think twice about shaking a stranger’s hand, using the ATM keypad, or going to the grocery store without donning a hazmat suit. Our only spending going forward will be for essentials, such as our mortgage, utilities, groceries, our Medi-Share premium , and fuel for the cars. More family time!

We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. Our goal for 2019 is NOT to feel deprived, but rather find creative ways to get through the year without unnecessary spending. Do you buy groceries, but have nothing to eat? In my case, I will continue to focus on groceries.
