The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? an illustration I did for one of my son’s books. This is a butcher board table my husband and sons made when we were living in a rental with very little useful counter space.

It is an eye-opening experience and will allow you to figure out what you can cut back on, as well as what is a necessary expense. What about eating out? How about clothes? Bank of America card holders can enjoy FREE museum membership once a month. Are you spending too much on coffee each month? Avoid impulse buys.

Knowing our bank account was empty, I was hoping that one of our maxed out credit cards would have enough room to get him $20 bucks worth of gas to get him to work the next day. Thank goodness its illegal to sell cute little children, because I would have gotten a pretty penny for my son. We stopped buying stuff.

If we wanted extra money for something like school clothes or makeup, we were given a chore to earn it. It was rarely just handed out. The first thing I do every morning is make coffee, sit down at my desk, open my budget spreadsheet, log into the bank, and enter anything that came out overnight plus what we spent the previous day.
