2012 Building Emergency Fund Saving 
Family Balance Sheet
MAY 6, 2020
Our emergency fund. I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive.

Our Debt Freedom Plan Started in 2013: The year 2012 was quite exciting for me and my husband. And I continued to build this website. Our extra funds went towards our cash flow.
