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. The kids were in the back seat watching a movie and we were in the front seat reviewing 2011 and strategizing for the upcoming year. Our 2012 Financial Goals. We have set a goal date of July 2015 to pay off all of our debt.

It has been my obsession goal since we found ourselves in a dicey situation back in August 2013. That was the month I didn’t know if we had enough funds to cover our expenses. Between 2013 – 2015, we whittled that down and as of today we have just two loans left. What’s your financial goal for 2016?

We also didn’t feel comfortable with Dave’s suggestion of a $1000 starter emergency fund, which is his step #1. The point of the starter emergency fund is to get you through until you pay off your non-mortgage debts, at which point, you build a more extensive fund. Increase business emergency savings.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. By the summer of 2013, we found ourselves in a pickle–we had too much debt and not enough cash flow. My kids are now almost 15 and 12 and eat as much as adults! We stopped retirement contributions.
