To calculate your net worth, take inventory of what you own, as well as your outstanding debt. On the other hand, even people with modest incomes can accumulate significant wealth and a high net worth if they buy appreciating assets and are prudent savers. Or, you can think of net worth as everything you own less all that you owe.

We found over $1600 in extra cash…and on the other side…well, you should scroll down for the details! 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. On one side, it could go down as a very resourceful month.

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. When that loan was paid off, we put that full monthly amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019 when we made our last non-mortgage loan payment. Yep, life was good.

We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. In early March before the crazy began, we decided to order the tires and stick with the van for another year or two and save up more funds to buy our next vehicle. Mr. Coffee didn’t want to be left out.

We are a quarter of the way through 2019, and that means it’s time to check in on those new year’s resolutions! I’ve always said that it’s silly to buy in cash when I could be getting points back on my credit card purchases. Once the cash runs out, that’s it for the month, so measure your purchases wisely.

Just watch the news around Thanksgiving, and you’re likely to see hordes of people lining up well in advance of when stores open. If you set aside a maximum amount of money that you’re prepared to spend, you may feel less inclined to buy the items you’re not 100% committed to. Impulse buys can add up quickly.

We want to live WELL on LESS Money. This new routine only costs me $3 for the pick-up and I’m finding it’s well worth it. Instead of buying gallons of iced tea at the store which can cost about $2.50 It was Sept 17, 2019 and I have about 1/3 box left. Frugal living is NOT about feeling deprived.

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. What We Won’t Give Up: My motto has always been “living well on less” and now it will be “living well on (even) less”. Save for a camper upgrade.

One retail innovation we believed would be big in 2017 was the change in how people buy. This has a huge impact on how and where people buy – and how retailers need to adapt omni-channel strategies to include this new purchasing channel. It spans across all aspects of retail from buying, to shipping to even returning merchandise.
