Family Balance Sheet

JULY 10, 2023

My goal has always been to live well on less while achieving our big financial goals. We are in what I call our “shovel season of life” Our oldest daughter leaves for college in the fall of 2024 and we have a big savings goal to hit before then. We had an outdoor dining set that was about 13 years old.

Saving Everyday

OCTOBER 3, 2023

We usually go with one empty credit card, put everything on that ONE card so it’s easy to keep track of, and try our best not to go over our spending goal. Our points add up quickly and can be rolled into free nights! This can be a considerable expense, bringing me to my next point. Loyalty can pay off.
