There are a lot of #frugalfamilyactivities that we There are a lot of #frugalfamilyactivities that we can do even during a #winterlockdown.

We are sharing some of our go-to #weekend #familyactivities...

1. Enjoy the #outdoors! You don’t need to drive all the way #outoftown for this. #Sledding or #Iceskating can be done for free in several parks within the city. (Responsibly social distant of course!)

2. #FamilyMovieMarathon - let each family member pick a #movie to watch and spend a good part of the weekend watching all of the movies, with lots of #popcorn of course!

3. Play with your food! Pick meals that are #interactive so everyone can participate in making them - like DIY #pizza or #taconight, and a #bananasplit station for dessert.

Do you do an #annual #financialstatus #review? If Do you do an #annual #financialstatus #review?

If not, now is the time to get started. We do ours within November or December of the #previousyear until #January of the current year.

Step 1: Review & modify #budget - based on previous year’s #income & #spending and current year’s #goals.

Step 2: Review your #investments - having an excel file of all your investments helps make this task easier. Have a column where you note the #purpose of the #investment and what your #yearlygains #expectations are. This will help you determine if the investment is still serving it’s #purpose for you or it’s time to #switch it up.

Step 3: Review your #insurancepolicies - #lifeinsurance, #disabilityinsurance, & #healthinsurance. Are your policies still in effect? When is it due for renewal? Are you still appropriately covered? 

Seems easy eh?! But the 3 Steps we just covered is just an overview. Each step has a lot of intricacies to it. However, it needs to be done and having a set #annualschedule to do it helps ensure that it is done.
