Published: Sept. 5, 2022, 12:35 p.m.

b"Today my friend Sara and I are talking about basic family budgeting. One of the reasons that I wanted to cover this topic is that most families have to live on a budget. Many of us are single-income families and some of us have large families.\\xa0\\nMy husband and I lived on a modest single income for our family of 10 for many years and I can honestly say that I actually love the freedom of being on a budget. That may sound strange, but there is such peace knowing that you are staying within your income limits and not burying yourself in debt.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, we mention the envelope system. For our family, the categories were: groceries, gas, entertainment, clothing, and miscellaneous.\\xa0\\nResources mentioned:\\nThe Unhurried Homeschooler\\nUnhurried Grace for a Mom\\u2019s Heart\\nThe Four-Hour School Day\\nHomeschooling Today\\nPrevious podcasts with Sara:\\nA Conversation with 2 Veteran Homeschool Moms\\nFinishing the School Year Well\\nConsidering Your Kids Personalities in Your Approach\\nPlanning Your Homeschool with the End in Mind\\n(P.S.
