Family Balance Sheet
APRIL 1, 2015
I work full time in IT and my wife works part time in retail. It was all consumer debt spread over 5 credit cards.

Here something about me that many don’t know…Nearly four years ago, I was working full time in Corporate Finance. I enjoyed my job, but the long hours were becoming longer and my family time was becoming shorter. Before I started FTM, I was an accountant and had always enjoyed the thrill of of shopping.

It took us two years of my husband working full-time at his job and then using every other second to work on the house. We sacrificed a lot of time together and took on a lot of stress during this time. We save and try to manage our finances, but do so with an openness to give money away as well.

My husband is an extremely hard worker as he works and goes to school full time. It started with $40,000 in consumer debt (vehicles, credit cards, small student loan) and then sold our home and eliminated the $140,000 of mortgage debt. Who handles the day-to-day finances in your home or do you work on it equally?
The Frugal Girl
MARCH 4, 2024
Although my parents never specifically taught me about finances, they lived a frugal life by necessity. Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. I grew up in banking and held other finance-related positions during my working years.
