The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

My husband and I have four kids ranging from age 3-8, and I am a stay-at-home mom. I think I started reading FG regularly in 2018 or 2019. In my 20’s, I finally had a “real” job and wanted to buy a newer car. Within reason, we like to give our kids a nice Christmas with presents they enjoy.

The backstory: In November 2019, my van was in need of new tires and I was debating on whether to get the new tires or start looking for a replacement vehicle. I like to think that buying a pre-owned vehicle is the best possible scenario. We are “buy and hold” car owners, as evidenced by the trade-in of a 13.5-year-old

The van has been awesome, especially when our kids were younger, but it needed 4 new tires and I didn’t want to replace them if we were going to get another car. We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. Kids in the kitchen.

The songs ask questions like, what can we make instead of buy? In an age where kids are constantly on screens, “ Make it Myself” is a refreshing reminder to children and families that they have screen-free ways to connect and create. How can we grow our emotional skills? Who can we stand up for?

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? Are you buying too many clothes with an already packed closet?

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. When that loan was paid off, we put that full amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019. We buy reliable vehicle brands that are built to drive for many many years.

If nothing changes, this loan will be paid off by end of 2019, but I’d love to move that up and say adios to this loan! If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. My kids tend to be dying of thirst when we’re standing in line at a store that conveniently has a display of over-priced refrigerated water at the check out line.

It is one of my all-time favorite songs and one I’ve known since I was a kid. Listen/stream/buy "The Road I Grew Up On" HERE. CMT again world premiered his second song and video for "She Keeps Me Up Nights" in April of 2019, which peaked at #3 of their 12 Pack countdown series. It was some of the first songs I learned words to.
