Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 21, 2014

I pulled out clothes that I don’t wear and I’ll donate to the thrift store. My kids had a fun time looking at the hair styles and clothing choices of their parents through the years. The shoe shelf in our garage. My family has a shoe addiction. I reorganized my bedroom closet and dresser.

I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. He built his own garage. At garage sales, are you attracted to those still usable but slightly defective items that no one else wants? I used to darn my family’s socks, but now don’t. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without”.

riding lawn mowers, garage door openers and many, many more things we take for granted today. Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. There were no garage door openers. There was no polyester clothing.

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.
