Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 26, 2015

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget.

How I’m managing our family budget during the Pandemic: We pay ourselves at the beginning of each month, so when this crisis started in mid-March, we were covered for the month. We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. I have been using it ever since.

Americans pride themselves on their ‘Yankee ingenuity’ – making do or doing without. I was without power for a week one cold Midwest March. It made much more sense financially for me to go get a minimum wage job and buy the stuff. It has just never been economically justifiable.
