Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 29, 2015

Instead of buying new this year, ask yourself these questions: Can I borrow from someone?

That’s motivation to take some time to scour Craigslist and some local second hand furniture stores this week. For one-time special occasions, ask friends if you can borrow instead of buying new. For curiosity sake, I stopped by a local furniture store and saw some really cute new dressers that cost $500-$700.

It is no longer just saved for special family occasions or for professionals. She bought one textbook, I bought the other, and we swapped when we were done with the class. addiction.audiobooks. I must admit.
