Family Balance Sheet
MAY 6, 2020
For many households, their finances and budgets are in limbo. 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. As self-employed small business owners, we have lived through some tough months, but in 2007, it was a tough year.

We have lived through some challenging months as small business owners, but 2007 was a very tough year for us. By the end of 2007, our business picked up again–thankfully–but not before we practically wiped out our savings. We would not have survived with just a $1000 starter fund back in 2007. A Very Tough Year.

By the end of the month, my goal is to help you have a detailed financial plan for your family.

We have lived through some challenging months as small business owners, but 2007 was a very tough year for us. By the end of 2007, our business picked up again–thankfully–but not before we practically wiped out our savings with only $2000 left to spare, not enough to get us through one more month. A Very Tough Year.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears were shed here, but we both agree that having no mortgage gave us a serious leg up on our retirement savings and other financial goals. In 2007, when the kids were 8 and 13, we recreated that trip – with a travel trailer and bunks instead of a miniscule tent. Spreadsheets are my friends.
