Frugal living is not about deprivation. Instead, I look for creative ways to save my family money in all aspects of our lives. My goal has always been to live well on less while achieving our big financial goals. This update includes how we frugal-ed in April, May, and June. Ask and ye shall receive!

Did you make 2018 financial goals ? My husband and I discussed some ideas over our holiday break and we decided on 2 solid must-achieve financial goals for the year. If we complete them early, we’ll move on to 2 additional goals that are on our radar. If not, we’ll start saving in 2019.

Our 2019 Financial Goal. Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. We can now move on to other financial goals. Start Additional Savings Accounts.

How long have you been reading The Frugal Girl? I started reading The Frugal Girl about two years before I escaped from the workforce, which was almost eight years ago. I learned to save money by watching my parents. (I I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.)

Now that we’ve paid off six figures of non-mortgage debt , we are working on saving 6 months’ expenses and maybe even more. Consider setting the money aside in a savings account that isn’t immediately accessible and doesn’t have an ATM attached to it This will help to avoid any impulsive non-emergency spending.
