Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 29, 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. In January, I only ventured into Target because our daughters wanted to go and spend some of their Christmas gift money.

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. Maybe I’m still recovering from the Christmas shopping frenzy, but I had little desire to step into a store.

In 2013, The Christmas Savings Club encouraged all of us to save monthly so that we could have a cash Christmas. So for 2015, I want to challenge myself and you, to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have.

Other than Christmas, this is my favorite time of the year! Buy second hand. Everyone is talking about ways to save the planet, the weather is getting warmer, what''s not to love? If you haven''t started doing more green things, now is the perfect time to start! It''s a lot easier than you think.

I have a friend who sells cookies and candy during the Christmas and Easter holidays. Another friend sells her homemade artisan bread and another friend sells hand sewn dolls at craft fairs. I am very picky about what I buy second hand, and I still find brand new or hardly worn clothing. What is your skill set?
