The Frugal Girl

MARCH 4, 2024

I’m in my 60’s, I’ve been married to the love of my life for 44 years and we have two adult “kids.” We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) Our son is 29 and biological. Alan doesn’t share that regret. Go figure.

10K in car payments, $35K in credit card debt. One of the first things we did is buy a swing set for our kids with cash! After 2 years of determination we decided that we would take a month off and with any of our extra earnings splurge fun activities with the kids, eat out and go on lots of dates:). We named our price at $100.

How about an education policy for the kids? Besides, paying off your debt and keeping it at a healthy minimum will help your credit score rating. With a better credit score rating, you have access to better financing options, which, in turn, can help you take advantage of future investment opportunities. They can be anything.

If you have a big financial goal, think about how much you pay someone to do something that you are capable of doing yourself. You will likely have to accept a store credit for the current price if you don’t have a receipt, but that’s better than nothing. The neighbor kids are doing quite well on my street.

I am the oldest of seven kids (yes, we all have the same parents – I get asked that quite a bit!). I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. Consignment stores and auctions are a great way to buy clothes and furniture at low prices. What are your financial goals now?

Meal Planning With grocery prices being what they are today, having a meal plan is probably one of the smartest things you could do next to avoiding an impulse purchase while in the checkout lane. Unfortunately, many of us head out to the grocery stores armed with nothing but our credit card and a rough idea of what we need.

I knew I was going to be a stay at home mom when we had kids and since we were both teachers, we simply could not afford for me to stay home, unless we got rid of something big in our budget. And this is just on a mortgage, not including any credit card or student loan debt. We also look for places where kids eat free now.
