The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

We knew that I would likely not be working full time much longer as we wanted to start a family, so we chose a house that was in a low price range and got a 15-year mortgage. The teachers and education are wonderful and our kids are thriving there so we will continue it as long as we can afford to. That is a never-ending list!

We, as a country, owe our young people a more comprehensive education. What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids. That’s not right.

Family Balance Sheet

I read this book around the same time that I became a mother and left the full-time workforce to stay at home with our new baby. There’s a yearly fee and a learning curve, but I love YNAB and it helps me stay on budget and financially organized with our day-to-day checking and savings accounts.
