Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 26, 2021

Do you have enough cash to cover them or would you have to rely on high-interest credit cards or a loan from your family? With little money in their bank accounts, these Americans couldn’t afford these unfortunate expenses without using a credit card or maybe relying on a loan from family and friends. A Very Tough Year.

By the end of the month, my goal is to help you have a detailed financial plan for your family. As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some challenging months, but the year 2007 was especially tough for us. We would not have survived with just $1000 starter fund back in 2007.

Gather the family. We paid around $200,000 in 2007 for the property with an extra amount for furnishings and a slip in a yet-to-be-built boat dock. If we hadn’t sold stocks and mutual funds to come up with the money to close the sale (cash on the table), we wouldn’t have generated a huge capital gain in 2007.

The year 2007 held such promise for us when it started, but by the end of the year we were brought to our knees. As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some tough months, but in 2007, it was a tough year. For a variety of reasons, our business became difficult that year. It was a scary time for us.

After Peder was born, in February 2000, I went on maternity leave from The Providence Journal , where I was working as a reporter. My first essay for East Side Monthly was published in November 2007, and my last one appeared in July 2018. She grew up in the Midwest and lives in Providence with her family. Thanks for reading!
