We’ve been using YNAB for a long time. It was with us through nearly our entire debt-free journey. YNAB 4 was a part of how we handled money in our family and we weren’t ready to part ways when the new online YNAB came along. YNAB (the company) understood that parting would be hard so […]
$327 Monthly Grocery Haul for Our Family of 7
It’s been a couple of months since we’ve had a normal grocery shopping month. During November and December we didn’t do our normal monthly grocery shopping trips. It was good to get back to it! We waited until nearly half way through the month to do our monthly grocery shopping, though I did make a […]
Annual Spending Report 2018–California Family of Seven
Have you ever stepped back at the end of the year to look at your spending totals for the year? Of course, this is only really practical and possible if you’ve been tracking your spending throughout the year. We started tracking (and minimizing) our spending back when we decided to pay off over $100K of […]
Transparent Family Budget Update– December 2018
Happy New Year! It’s time for our last budget update of 2018! Thinking back on December, I can’t say enough about how nice it is to have sinking funds for things like Christmas and life insurance. When we were paying off our student loan debt we didn’t do sinking funds because we were funnelling absolutely […]

How Our Emergency Fund is Fighting Inflation
Have you ever thought about the money in your savings account becoming worth less over time? Aren’t savings accounts supposed to grow? If the interest rate is less than the rate of inflation, then you are actually losing money, well, purchasing power, because your money isn’t growing as fast as inflation. A few months ago […]
Transparent Family Budget Update– November 2018
I’m really excited for November’s budget update because it’s the first month that we’ve focused on our new BIG financial goal. If you missed it, I wrote all about it here and even shared about it in our first-ever live video. In short, we’re going to be working hard to pay off our mortgage. Like […]
Our Next BIG Financial Goal– Why We’re Paying Off Our Mortgage in 5 Years
A couple of weeks ago, we announced our big financial goal for 2019 (and beyond) in our very first ever Facebook live video. We thought about waiting until it was actually 2019 to dive in, but honestly once we made the decision, we couldn’t wait. We just wanted to get started instead of frittering away […]
Transparent Family Budget Update– October 2018
If you’re here to see what real family finances look like you’ve come to the right place. As always, I’ll share what our family earned, spent, and saved last month in detail. But first… We are super excited to do something new here at Six Figures Under! For more than five years we’ve been sharing […]
October Monthly Grocery Haul ($310 for a family of 7)
In October, I spent $310 on my monthly grocery shopping trip for my family of 7. While I try to get most of what we’ll need for the month in one giant shopping trip, I still usually make a few smaller trips throughout the month for more milk, bread, and other great deals that I […]
