Family Balance Sheet

It’s a tight budget and I failed miserably over the summer, but we have lots of financial goals, so I need to get it back in line. Mine is an 8 quart and takes up a lot of space on my kitchen counter and I don’t have a lot of cabinet space to store it when it’s not in use. Thursday: Leftover Smorgasbord night.

My husband and kids won’t tolerate a bare kitchen and bad, boring food–they would seriously revolt. But we have some serious financial goals to hit and the grocery budget is an easy target when it comes to cutting the budget. It doesn’t last long, because every one in my house loves it. So refreshing.

so that we have more money to put towards our financial goals. Monday: Shephard’s Pie with leftover mashed potatoes from last week. It’s any money that comes into your hands that you weren’t expecting. That wasn’t very frugal of me, but our house was really hot and we all wanted to sleep well.

My husband and I made some serious financial goals for 2014. To achieve those goals I need to review our spending to see where I can make some cuts. If I don’t plan our meals and my shopping list, I spend too much money and make too many extra stops to the grocery store during the week. Maybe even a crock-pot meal.

Here I was, leaning against his $20,000 truck, while my $15,000 car is sitting in the drive way of our $150,000 house, and through all this our 8 month old son was sleeping in his $400 crib, and I didn’t have $20 bucks of my own money to get gas. So we would cook at home and take leftovers for lunch the next day. I am very happy.

And to be honest, we don’t regret it one bit, but things changed rather quickly in 2013 and we found ourselves with a lot of debt, not enough cash flow, and very little set aside for emergencies. Our bills and responsibilities didn’t waiver however, even though our income dipped. My husband and I were on the same page.

It’s a tight budget and I failed miserably recently, but we have lots of financial goals, so I need to get it back in line. My family finally let me get away with this, but I really wasn’t in any mood to cook an elaborate dinner, so it was scrambled eggs with ham, hash browns, and toast. Please share in the comments.
