Family Balance Sheet

MAY 25, 2019

On the 25th of every month from January to November in 2019, I will hold a virtual meeting on the blog to give updates on our progress, motivate one another, and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. My monthly goal is $100. You don’t have to divulge your goal, but please let us know HOW you found or saved the money.

I donated plasma 4 times in May which is short of my goal of 8 times. This past winter I cleaned out closets and drawers in my quest to minimize and downsize our stuff and donated everything to the thrift store, rather than hold on to it for the spring sale. January 2021 – I found $1681. Plasma Donation Earnings: $220.

Our goal is to NOT put our Christmas purchases on a credit card. January will be one giant nightmare when the credit card bills start rolling in. Hopefully, that’s your goal too. We paid for many of our Christmas purchases on a credit card and then hustled in January 2013 to pay it off. Return Unused Purchases.

Every January 1, I get caught up in the hopeful feeling of the upcoming new year. My husband and I make some financial goals at the start of every year. Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey.

ALSO our 2019 Financial Goal!). I’ve writtien all about it over the years, and I decided on January 1, 2019, that this would be the year that we pay off the last remaining loan. I feel like I made a lot of trips to the thrift store to donate our stuff, but my house will tell you otherwise. We knocked this out of the park.

If you have a big financial goal, think about how much you pay someone to do something that you are capable of doing yourself. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. I started donating plasma in January 2021 and earned over $1000 in the first 3 months of the year.

We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. We started the year with a great January and made some progress with our goal, so to continue the momentum, I wanted to double down on our financial goal and be very mindful with our finances. Set a goal for yourself for March.
