Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 30, 2015

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. April Update: I made 3 new purchases in April: I bought a pair of Teva flip flops from the clearance rack at DSW and two t-shirts at BJ’s Warehouse store. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?

Our goal is to NOT put our Christmas purchases on a credit card. Hopefully, that’s your goal too. However, there’s always stuff to sell, like outgrown, but good clothing, shoes, toys, household goods, etc. Many stores will at least give you a store credit if you don’t have your receipt.

If you have a big financial goal, think about how much you pay someone to do something that you are capable of doing yourself. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. 19 – Shop thrifty for you clothing needs. 10 – Do It Yourself.

It’s really not the big purchases that can keep us from achieving our savings goals. Rather, it’s the little purchases that start to hurt us over time and prevent us from meeting our saving goals. Set Specific Goals. Setting specific goals can help to get us excited about saving money. Become a Savvy Shopper.

As some of you know, one of my goals for 2011 is to become a certified fitness professional. The goal was to be certified by summer.
