Family Balance Sheet
NOVEMBER 19, 2014
We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. Finances have definitely been the biggest strain in our 11 years of marriage.

However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. On their personal finance site, US News suggested that some kids get games they don’t want and can’t be returned. I always shop for Christmas wrapping paper, gift tags, boxes and really nice ornaments the week after Christmas.

I used to garage sale quite a bit for my kids’ toddler and preschool clothes but as they’ve gotten bigger and pickier I have better luck finding what they’ll wear in their size at the thrift store. I want it to be what they want to wear within our budget! Financing a fun car we didn’t need was an obvious dumb move in hindsight.

I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting all the gifts I’ve been given, including my finances. One of the moves we made, out to Seattle, the only way we could make our budget work AND have me be home with our young kids, was to not own a vehicle at all. Hosting garage sales & reselling items.
