They can cause a panic, especially when just one bill is into the four figures, like our property taxes or auto insurance! Our home owner’s insurance, auto insurance, and local real-estate taxes (for our home and our business property) are due, and on top of that, there have been years where we also owed the Federal government.

Does your property tax bill give you anxiety? Our homeowners insurance and property taxes are not tied in with our mortgage so we receive those bills and are responsible for paying them instead of the bank that owns the mortgage. Our personal escrow fund includes: home owners insurance – due yearly.

When a building in our town went into foreclosure in 2012, we considered the opportunity to own. We crunched the numbers, spoke with our accountant, and after much deliberation and negotiation, we bought the building that summer. Our business was doing well and it seemed like the right time for us to buy.

(I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. Now I wish those dollars had gone into our savings accounts. What’s your best frugal win?
