Family Balance Sheet
FEBRUARY 6, 2021
January 2021 was a month of extremes in my family’s finances. Found Money in January: $1681. Yep, I found a $20 bill last year on the beach! I started donating plasma in January!!! A friend referred me and by the end of January, I made $591. On one side, it could go down as a very resourceful month.

We paid for many of our Christmas purchases on a credit card and then hustled in January 2013 to pay it off. Hopefully, that’s your goal too.

The journey started in 2012 when we bought an office building for our business and then found ourselves with a lot of debt and not enough cash flow. We ran the numbers of the purchase and they looked great on paper, but paper doesn’t account for a new server, a roof leak, unexpected medical bills, and other calamities.
