Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 29, 2020

This blog was based on my very first spreadsheet, the Family Balance Sheet. Years ago, there was a month where I hadn’t planned on a large property tax bill and I wasn’t sure where we were going to find the money. One January, we received a very large credit card bill in the mail.

I recently came across a new blog that fits this bill, Simply Frugal Living. As you all know, I am interested in frugal living and also simplicity, thus the name of this site, Simply CVS.

Many of them don't make a living wage and depend on tips to pay their bills. Tip: If you enjoyed your dining experience, thank your server, but also write a note of thanks on your bill, because not only will they see it, but so will the manager and whoever handles the paperwork after them.
