The Frugal Girl

MARCH 4, 2024

My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. I can’t even imagine how many repair bills from plumbers, electricians, appliance techs, and auto mechanics he has saved us over the years.

An Easy Way to Save for Irregular Expenses

Rather than finding yourself in a position where you’re relying on credit cards for these expenses – and then wasting your hard-earned money on paying off those cards in the following months – try creating separate sinking funds instead. If you use $10 in coupons on a grocery purchase, add $10 to a sinking fund.
