I am excited about my new challenge for 2015. My goal is to live on $19,000 a year for a family of four for the next year. This will include all expenses including housing, food, utilities, car repairs, gas for the car and any expenses that come up unexpectedly.
Sounds tough, right? I am sure it will be. I am sure this will be a huge challenge and one I am looking forward to. I don't know if it can be done in 2015 with the price of things, but I am willing to try. I am going to blog about it so I can see how I did it when I am successful, what errors I made and how I can do better. I am starting out in good shape - my pantry is well stocked, although not enough for a year. Which means I am going to have to purchase food items every month. My monthly bills are in check, and i have been sticking to a pretty good budget. I am going to have to be organized and disciplined. I can't wait to start!
