Plus virtually everything I own is bought at yard sales, thrift stores or super sales of some kind. :-) So I do live well within my means.<br /><br />This past week I took my financial bull by the horns, in some small way. I brought some of my better but virtually unworn clothing to a consignment store on Saturday (never did that before!), bagged up change (on my dining table and going to CoinStar this weekend), and started bagging up stuff for my own yard sale. All this work for a couple of hundred bucks -- if I'm LUCKY! -- but it seems like the prudent thing to do. Or something. :-)Laura @ the shorehouse.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442672928319257413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-12803498518397920732009-06-16T22:20:49.729-05:002009-06-16T22:20:49.729-05:00You are so kind to us :) If I didn't already ...You are so kind to us :) If I didn't already have 5 properties already, I'd totally invest!!<br /><br />I know my husband and I would benefit from a monthly meeting - heck we'd benefit from a yearly meeting!<br /><br />Love you Leigh.Kristin - The Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856336718919208752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-87272666095201731332009-06-16T21:16:56.735-05:002009-06-16T21:16:56.735-05:00I know what you mean Leigh.

I had to create my own spreadsheet so I can see where every penny went and who spent it so I can have a realistic budget since we're a one-income fam.

It took my husband 8 months to get another job after he lost his and that job was a lot less in pay. It took him another 7 to get a better paying job.

I read about someone's no spend challenge and I am sort of non-officialy doing a "less-spend" challenge this summer. we will see!
