Family Balance Sheet

JUNE 4, 2021

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. This past winter I cleaned out closets and drawers in my quest to minimize and downsize our stuff and donated everything to the thrift store, rather than hold on to it for the spring sale. My total found money in May: $321.81.

Resource: Holiday Help Salvation Army - they have the Angel Giving Tree program (with JCPenney) to help give Christmas gifts to low-income children and senior citizens and the Red Kettle program which gives FREE dinners at Christmas. Give away a dollar in front of the thrift store. Help someone. Think differently.

Doing a no-spend challenge for a month is a great way to recover from higher spending months like December when our bank accounts take a hit due to Christmas. We can also take advantage of free Redbox rental codes , free kids activities , or invite friends over to play. I then used that cash to buy coffee, milk, and eggs.
