You may have noticed that I neglected to make a grocery haul video for April, May, and June. We still bought groceries of course, but that was about as far as I got. Well, we ate them too. During the first trimester+ of pregnancy I am super tired and go to sleep really early, which […]
Real Family Budget Update – June 2019
It’s time again for a little personal finance made public! Now that I’m well into the second trimester of this pregnancy, I can finally manage more than just feeding my family. The change in my energy and motivation is definitely evident in the budget. June looked much better than April or May. I’ll be back […]
Debt Smash-athon MAY Progress Report
Another month of the Debt Smash-athon is in the books! As usual, you Debt Smashers worked hard to accomplish big things! Even though only a fraction of our community reports numbers, I know there are many more of you who are working your tails off without reporting it. I get so inspired reading all of […]

Real Family Budget Update– April 2019
April’s numbers are in, which include a tax refund! For the past two years we’ve had to pay at tax time, but this year we overpaid. By a lot! Between new tax laws, our businesses not growing like they have in past years, and that one time we accidentally paid $2000 instead of $200 for […]
Debt Smash-athon MARCH Progress Report
We made some healthy financial progress this month! And by “we” I mean all of you! Our family’s progress was pretty minimal this month, but it’s so encouraging to see that as a group we are making huge progress! I loved reading your reports. I read every single one. I’m smiling from ear to ear […]
Why we started giving our kids allowance that’s NOT tied to chores
I have always been against the idea of giving an allowance to kids. I mean the kind of allowance that kids just get, whether they’ve been helpful or awful, completed all their chores or none of them. I wanted my kids to earn money rather than give it to them. I wanted them to learn […]
Real Family Budget Update– March 2019
If you saw our budget update in February you know that March was a tight month for us. One of the things I really love about living on last month’s income is that we have some time to plan how to handle a month of lower income. As you’ll see in the spending details below, […]
6 Hacks for Storing Food in Small Spaces
Whenever we talk about our food storage (or even just monthly grocery shopping), we always have readers who say they can’t keep food storage or shop for a month at a time because they just don’t have the space. I definitely understand small spaces. When we were first married we lived in the tiniest little […]
