How I’m Managing our Family Budget during the Pandemic

Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 11, 2020

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. My second prayer is that my family gets through this crisis financially. Our only spending going forward will be for essentials, such as our mortgage, utilities, groceries, our Medi-Share premium , and fuel for the cars.

OCTOBER 3, 2023

I truly believe that family vacations are a necessity. I know that some people have luck booking last-minute plane tickets, but I wouldn’t advise that for a family vacation. I cooked several meals, and it was nice to have some homemade food, not to mention the money we saved! Your family will love it!
