Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 30, 2015

In 2015 I’m challenging myself to rethink purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have.

In a previous Meet a Reader post, we met MB in MN. I have made many money mistakes over the years – when I was single, I bought so many clothes and books!
