Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 3, 2012

On Christmas day, my husband and I spent 4 hours together traveling in a car to visit his family. We talked through some issues and opportunities for our business and our personal, family, and financial goals. Our 2012 Financial Goals. We have set a goal date of July 2015 to pay off all of our debt.

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. Our 2019 Financial Goal. We can now move on to other financial goals. 1 – Save a starter Home Emergency Fund. We were trying to be responsible.

Back in March I wrote about my family’s Debt Freedom Plan. It happened in 2006 and again in late 2012 to early 2013. Our current savings is not at a true emergency fund level of 3-6 months, but further down our plan, we will save up to that level. What financial goals are you working towards?

Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan. Our Debt Freedom Plan Started in 2013: The year 2012 was quite exciting for me and my husband. It turns out this was the best decision for our family. Build up our Emergency Funds to 3-6 months of expenses.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. How we got to six figures of non-mortgage debt: In the summer of 2012, we found an opportunity to purchase an office building for our small business. We drive older cars. We just ate an elephant!
