I remember when my great grandmother was coming for a visit and my grandma (she raised me) said “I will show your great-grandma your bedroom mess if you don’t clean it” I didn’t clean it and the look on my great-grandma’s face, the disappointment on her face I have not forgotten. or clothes.

All I had to do was what my grandmother had taught me. For the clothes and shoes for my kids, I look for sales. I stocked up on several sizes for the next 2-3 years… for my daughter, last Sept, Crazy 8 had a coupon and a sale on summer clothes. I haven’t bought my kids new clothes in 2 years.

My Grandmother was born in 1898. On wash day, she built a wood fire out in the yard under a big iron cauldron to heat water to wash her clothing. Your environment defines what is considered a ‘need’ My Grandmother lived in a different environment and had different needs than I. Absolutely not! She lived on a farm.

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. Now I need gardening, housework and other casual type clothing. I hate buying clothes new. I wash my dry cleanable clothing by hand and line dry it.

Wear your fanciest clothes. Use the good table cloth–it can always be washed. My favorite is a hand crocheted ornament made and given to me in 1978 by my great-grandmother. Fancy restaurants aren’t always in the budget, but you can have a fancy dinner in your own home. Indoor Picnic. Host a Cookie Swap.

Makeup, nail polish, and clothes. I haven’t worn makeup in about twenty years or so, I can’t remember the last time I painted my nails, and I detest shopping for clothes. But I had to SHOP for clothes. Cloth diapering. What’s one thing you aren’t remotely tempted to splurge on?

The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. Consignment stores and auctions are a great way to buy clothes and furniture at low prices. What inspired you to get debt free? Was there a particular event? She was so meticulous with her money. How did you celebrate when you became debt free?
