Choose Thrift First Challenge – March Meeting

Family Balance Sheet

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.

Meet Aja. She & her husband Paid Off $110,000 in Debt

Family Balance Sheet

For the last two years, I told anyone who would listen about us trying to make our goal of being totally debt free.
