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. After shopping locally at some furniture stores, I resorted to Craigslist and spent hundreds less on a new-to-her dresser.

JANUARY 5, 2015

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. Our youngest daughter’s dresser practically disintegrated into pieces over the holiday break.

If you have some bigger items, you will likely make more money selling them on Craigslist or your local Facebook sale page than at a yard sale. 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.
