How many times have you set a goal and not stuck with it? I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all dropped the ball more than once before. When you don’t have any accountability, it’s easy to not follow through. It helps to have accountability to yourself and someone else. Have you written down […]
Real Family Budget Update– December 2019
Since the Frugal Fresh Start Challenge posts are just happening on weekdays, I thought today was a perfect time to share our December Budget Update. You may have missed November’s budget update because it was posted super late in December between the end of the Frugal Festivities series and beginning of the Frugal Fresh Start […]
Track Your Spending to Find Out Where Your Money is Going
Do you really know where all of your money goes each month? I don’t think there is anything more critical to personal financial success. Even people who think they have a good idea of how they spend their money end up being surprised when they carefully track spending and add everything up. “Measurement is the […]

Real Family Budget Update– November 2019
I’m super late in sharing the details of November’s budget since December’s blogging calendar was filled with the 25 Days of Christmas series. Plus we’ve had a lot going on. Our sweet baby boy was born in the middle of November. The first three week with him were a little rough. We had to go […]

Now that October is in the books, we have only two months left in our 2019 Debt Smash-athon. I don’t know about each of you, but we still have big things to accomplish before the year is over. We have a stretch goal for where we want to get our mortgage principal by the end […]
Monthly Grocery Shopping– November 2019
November’s grocery haul was a little different than normal. Usually I shop according to what we’re running low on in the fridge and pantry, but this shopping trip included some convenience foods we usually don’t buy. I made an exception since we have a baby that’s due in a week. We still have some homemade […]
Real Family Budget Update– October 2019
October’s budget was a doozie! If you read my last post, you know what I’m talking about. We had $1,000 of unplanned spending thanks to California’s new strategy for fire prevention. For 7 days of the month we were without electricity (and cell phones and internet). Since these Public Safety Power Shutoffs are supposed to be […]
