Budget Tip #15: Whistle While You Work

Now that the Disney song is stuck in your head… (you’re welcome)

With work, soccer practice, dance recitals and every other activity your family is involved in, there isn’t much time on the calendar to be, well, a family. Those rare moments when everyone is together for a meal or just in the car can be precious.

Well, why not kill two birds with one stone? Set a time on weekends for an hour or two for the whole family to pitch in and clean the house! Instead of hiring a cleaning service, make it a fun event. Make a to-do list and assign tasks to people. Make it a fun game for everyone! You can take some of that money you’d pay for a service to get pizza for everyone as a treat when it’s done.

Do yourself a favor. Print out this PDF of the tip, hang it in the house and let your family see it! Start the change today!
