The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

After I became a mother, finances became much more complicated. As our family and household income grew, my husband and I made it a goal to put more money aside for emergencies, retirement, college, home improvements, etc. The same goes for things like clothes. I have given up on second hand kids’ clothing. Childhood joy.

Although my parents never specifically taught me about finances, they lived a frugal life by necessity. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. But there are so many!

Family Balance Sheet

JUNE 8, 2018

A budget could help you avoid late and insufficient funds fees, find money for an upcoming trip or expense, and ease a disagreement over finances in a marriage. Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life. Another way to think of a budget is a spending plan.

Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 11, 2020

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. I’ve shared before that April is the most expensive month of the year for us because our homeowners/auto insurance and property taxes are all due, along with any federal or state taxes that we might owe.
