Family Balance Sheet

I remember one morning my husband and I were sitting at the kitchen table contemplating if we should sell one of our cars. As the Family Office Manager , I handle the day-to-day finances for our family and I needed a way to communicate our finances to my husband. It was a scary time for us. What got us through financially?

How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? It was an escape from the office, but it was eating up my budget…see what I did there! As my kids have grown, I have expanded my work hours at our office and by the end of the week, I’m too cooked to cook , so take out it is! Do you take your car to a car wash?

I use old casual office clothes to work around the house. I have a closet full of work clothes I wore to the office for 20 years, mostly casual slacks and blouses. There is a lovely thrift store not far from my neighborhood that receives donations from the folks in the local golfing gated community. Cheap or frugal?

And then it sat in my car waiting to be taken to the tailor for repair. I also wore leggings, because my office has been freezing, and it’s September now, so it’s totally acceptable behavior.

I moved the furniture around; I had left it the same as when I took over this office and had never really been comfortable. Have a big box ready to take the throw-away items and another for anything that is good enough to go to the local thrift store. I was so inspired that I followed some more of the advice in that article.
