Family Balance Sheet

The debt included about $30,000 in student loans, some medical debt, IRS debt, and a small amount on a credit card. We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. It’s feels nice to spend money on a date night out.

Since there seems to be so much in the news lately about credit cards- the good ones, the bad ones, the ugly ones, the fee free ones, the reward ones, the secured ones, etc. I figured I would talk about credit cards as today’s theme. Funancials : Should I Cancel My Credit Card? Penge Snak!:

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. When our first baby came we used cloth diapers (so we didn’t have to pay for the disposable ones) and had to freeze dry them in the garage in the winter.

Last summer in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp, we gave the 3 kids advertisements from the Sunday paper and asked them first to identify and cut out things that were needs; and then to do the same with things that were wants. It is food, so maybe a need. Two car garages. Credit card balances. We have three.
The Frugal Girl

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.
