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.

Choose thrift first. Rather than purchasing new, check to see if you can borrow from a friend, barter, or buy second hand. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. We are currently trying to teach our daughters this simple habit.

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. 24 – Become a book flipper.

We hit our Annual Household Portion (kind of like a deductible) of $10,000 with Medi-Share in 2017 when our daughter had an unexpected medical condition arise that required multiple tests, 3 surgeries, and medication.
