Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 25, 2013

The goal for this monthly accountability meeting is to give updates on our progress, motivate one another and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. One of our budget problems is eating out at restaurants, so we cut back our restaurant budget to $100 from an average of $250 a month in 2012. How Are You Doing? Stay Strong!

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 still have a mortgage, so we’re technically not DEBT-FREE, but we paid off over 6 figures of business debts and student loans since 2012 and have wiped out our NON-mortgage debt.

We also were working on paying for Jon’s master’s degree and then my own masters degree, which I completed in December 2013. With tuition payments and debt payments we spent about $60,395 between January 2012 and March 2014 when we became completely debt free with two bachelor’s and two master’s degrees between us.

Yep, we’re newlyweds and eloped together in December 2013. Many of their ideas were inspiring and their stories continued to motivate me through the entire process. I started Careful Cents and used that as a platform to find freelance writing opportunities. Then during tax season, I worked at H&R Block filing taxes.
