Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 17, 2018

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. Shame on us for dragging our feet on this for too long.

When we’re crazy busy and the family is demanding that they be fed, I always have the ingredients for spaghetti on hand. Now go through the list and really ask yourself if you use or need all of it. If you’re not using it, cancel it today and redirect that monthly money into your emergency savings.

We use an online account like, Capital One 360 (my referral link). But when you’re trying to save money, cut out this costly expense. When we’re crazy busy and the family is demanding that they be fed, I always have the ingredients for spaghetti on hand. It is NOT a spending account. Try freezer cooking.

Today, we’re going to analyze those numbers and challenge ourselves to improve them. It is my personal mission as the household manager for my family to live well, but I want us to do so on less money. I want my family to enjoy life, but we also have some pretty serious financial goals that we are trying to achieve.
