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.

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. Instead of buying new this year, ask yourself these questions: Can I borrow from someone? The Choose Thrift First Challenge.

For example, we’re very accustomed to buying anything we can second-hand at thrift stores, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. At this point, I don’t even think about seeking out new items, buying second-hand is just second nature.

Did you buy the materials to make that cute craft that you found on Pinterest but the bag is still sitting in your dining room…3 months later? I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. There are online sites that will buy books. Put the money in your fund.
