Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 26, 2014

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.

Once we hit retirement, assuming your saving efforts have been successful, we might once again become spenders – pursuing delayed goals and dreams. But, in college, I spent my summer earnings – on clothes, on a used car and on school activities. Over my life, I have been primarily a saver.

By the end of the month, my goal is to help you have a detailed financial plan for your family. I want my family to enjoy life, but we also have some pretty serious financial goals that we are trying to achieve. Thrift : I regularly stop by my favorite local thrift store and find crazy bargains.

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.

My wedding dress, thrifted! Our long-term goal is to retire in our 40s, and the first step is to pay off this mortgage (in addition to recommended retirement investing). I think it is so important to celebrate the small wins while working towards larger savings goals. I mostly work remotely which is very, very nice.

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. Moolanomy tells us how we can reach our savings goals by using virtual bank accounts. Being Frugal tells us how we can rock the thrift stores. Well, plans have had to change.

We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. We started the year with a great January and made some progress with our goal, so to continue the momentum, I wanted to double down on our financial goal and be very mindful with our finances. Set a goal for yourself for March.

This can ultimately lead to substantial savings that can go toward your financial goal and keep you from being wasteful. It can be anything from kids’ toys to storybooks, recipes, school supplies, kids’ clothes, DIY craft supplies—you name it. With a meal plan, you will only get what you need. Do you get what I mean?

Reaching your financial independence requires the persistent setting and realization of many small goals, a lot of intermediate goals and an overall end goal. I know from personal experience, you can get where you want to be. What Does It Take? It takes time, sometimes a very long time.

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.
