Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 12, 2016

I had $56,000 of debt when I decided to become debt free. I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. I had planned to pay it all off in 2.5 And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc.

Family Balance Sheet

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

We paid off over $147,000 in debt (actually way over that amount, if you want to count a $210,000 rental property that I sold at a slight loss.) About $52,000 of that $147K was consumer debt (credit cards, a student loan, a car loan, a home improvement loan, etc.) Then my husband decided to pay off his car.
