For many households, their finances and budgets are in limbo. How Our Debt Freedom Plan Prepared Us for the Pandemic. Our first storm: 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. For a variety of reasons, our business slowed down in 2007.

New furniture wasn’t in the budget for this project, but we sold some other unused furniture in November and we now have enough to pay for the new furniture. Credit cards are a tricky subject and we pay off the balance every month, so I will write more about this soon. We…took out a car loan.

In 2007, when the kids were 8 and 13, we recreated that trip – with a travel trailer and bunks instead of a miniscule tent. I track expenses, monitor our budget and handle all of our investments.
