The Frugal Girl

I racked up more debt to move to California, then the fancy car turned out to be a lemon, requiring a bunch of expensive repairs. I decided I was better off trading in the fancy car, but doubled down on poor car choices by getting a brand-new, completely unpractical sports car. Put it in our index fund investment account.

When you input your address in an online estimator, the dollar amount you’ll get is an estimate of the property’s fair market value , which might not be the same as the home’s appraised value. The fair market value of your home simply refers to what a homebuyer would likely pay for the property today.

And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? We gave up cable many years ago , but realize now we simply traded one cable bill into TOO many subscriptions. Can you fix a repair yourself?

Two “small” ones come to mind- my first car & first motorcycle-owned for a while, did a few small repairs & sold for what I paid. Used bookstores, fair trade products, and locally sourced food/baskets/pottery are favorites, in addition to monthly outings with my kids. What’s your best frugal win? Heavens, no.

We had a dishwasher, but it was broken and we didn’t want to spend the money to repair it – so we did without one – for 10 years! Peggy : Something really cool being done today is that the stay-at-home Moms trade babysitting days so they can get some time off and give the kids a play day. We also did without a lot of things.
