The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 9, 2024
I can remember quite a few years in college and grad school when my part-time jobs juuuuust barely covered my expenses (and sometimes not even that!) If $1000 was dropped in my lap today, I’d save some, tithe some, and use the rest to start a savings fund for a future family vacation.

Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. Do you have any tips for frugal travel or vacations?

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. Do you have any tips for frugal travel or vacations? Those skills/needs became vital in my marriage as the spouse was chronically ill with astronomical medical bills & expensive tastes. This means funds are tight.

For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations. Taking a vacation – well, we only went on 3 trips in our 15 years. Instead of spending his birthday check for $10, my husband put it in savings – every single time.
Family Balance Sheet

I work full time in IT and my wife works part time in retail. We were planning our family summer vacation and came to the conclusion that we had no money to pay for it. We cut way back on entertainment and vacations during debt repayment. We live in New York. We are a close family that likes to laugh.

17 – Find a part-time job. If you need to save a lot of money and you have pinched every last penny, then consider finding a part-time job in order to find the money for your emergency fund. If you have a lawnmower and/or shovel and have some extra time on the weekends, offer your services to the neighbors.
