Family Balance Sheet

MAY 21, 2021

Did you make a goal to pay off debt this year? For many years, we made a yearly goal to chip away at our six figures of non-mortgage debt. It took us years to pay it all off, but we achieved it in 2019. Our journey to debt freedom started back in 2013 when we found ourselves saddled with business and student loans.

How Our Debt Freedom Plan Prepared Us for the Pandemic. We’d survived the dip in 2007, carried no credit card debt, and we were contributing to our retirement. This new business debt weighed on me. I decided to use Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps as a guide and I wrote our first Debt Freedom Plan. Storm #2: 2013.

However, 2019 was the first year that I found a word that I could stand by. I adored my word and everything about what I was trying to achieve for 2019. By the end of 2019, I achieved one major bullet point and the others will continue to be a work in progress. My word was REDUCE: Non-mortgage debt to zero.

Did you make 2018 financial goals ? We even bought an online package years ago, but have since decided that we will have a lawyer draw up our will, medical directive, and power of attorney documents to make sure everything is in place legally. If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. Move up the Student Loan Payoff Date.
