Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 26, 2014

Our goal is to NOT put our Christmas purchases on a credit card. January will be one giant nightmare when the credit card bills start rolling in. Hopefully, that’s your goal too. To be honest, we set aside money each month throughout the year for gift spending, but that wasn’t always the case.

A sunny day in the middle of January called us outdoors. It was a great weekend, except for one thing: my husband and I didn't have a much needed money talk. When my husband and I are focused on our goals , we nail them. It was a great weekend, except for one thing: my husband and I didn't have a much needed money talk.

Our goal with the Christmas Savings Club is to save enough cash to achieve a Cash Christmas in 2013. Too many people rely on credit cards to carry them through the holiday spending and January ends up being a very stressful month when those credit card bills start rolling in. Next, fill in a budget for 2013. Thanks for reading.

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. What are the top 3 – 5 ways you found money to put towards debt. Who initiated the debt free goal?

However, reality set in on April 1st and I’m now second-guessing that we have enough money set aside, so I have set into motion some strategies to prepare for the unstable economy and any lost income ahead. This is not an elective, fun, no-spend month like what we did in January to find funds for our summer vacation.

We’ve had several instances over the years that have shaped how we viewed and managed our money. 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. January & February 2020 – Life is good! Our first storm: 2007.

Starting January 2012, we set up an automatic withdraw to a new “vacation savings account” of $25 a week. In years past, my goal each year was to pay for our trips entirely with ”free” money! It’s free money and I usually get a better deal online anyway. Deposit From Paychecks = $125.

A few years ago, I made it my personal obsession goal to see if I could completely pay for our Disney trips with “free money” and I’ve accomplished that goal every year but once (I was only a couple hundred dollars short). Here we go… Disney Trip 2012 – Total Savings Goal = $2555.35.

Here's a more organized update (and then I'll explain my dilemma): Here's where things stand now, in early-mid September 2012: Second Mortgage Debt: $31,400::::$25,176. Here's what it looked like in late May 2012: Second Mortgage Debt: $31,400::::$25,442. Assuming, of course, that the stock market doesn't tank between now and January.

My goal is to pay my loans down to $20,000 by the end of the year (an ambitious goal, for sure) so in January I can sell my stock and pay it all off once and for all! My student loans are now down to $39,071 !!!! I started the year at around $49,300 so I think I'm doing well for being five months into the year.

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to pay off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. And we were on a roll in January 2016. Unfortunately, we did not hit that goal and in part, have made some major changes to our Debt Freedom Plan. Our goal is still debt freedom. Retirement.
