Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 19, 2014

We sold extra items that we weren’t using through Craigslist and garage sales. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. We do meet every month to go over expenses and needs.

So I have watched the cost of living skyrocket in the last 20 years but wages haven’t caught up yet. Here’s Jennifer. ?

All those yummy food commercials use all kinds of methods to make the food look salivatingly good – from glued on seeds on the hamburger buns to soda loaded with antacid to make it bubbly. Last week I visited a garage sale. Do you watch HGTV? The kids reported what they liked and what they didn’t.
