Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 19, 2016

It was a mix of college loans, a personal loan from my parents (for college), an overdraft account, and credit card debt. What inspired you to get debt free? I had tried a lot of different things to get out of debt but nothing worked. I thought I’d die with my debt but here I am living debt-free.

Advantages of Paying Off Debt From a purely financial point of view, it makes more sense to focus on debt payoff rather than directing available cash to a savings account. From a personal point of view, I much prefer living debt free. This is why you should pay off your high-interest debts like credit cards first.

We are living in an apartment that we can pay for out of one paycheck with money left over. The money that we used to spend on debt now goes into savings. In order to maintain our debt free lifestyle, we pay cash for everything. We rarely use a credit card and if we do, we pay it off right away.

Financial Highway tells us how he paid off $50,000 of credit card debt. I have never owed that much on a credit card but I have had issues with paying them off in the past. Canadian Finance Blog tells us why living debt free doesn’t help our credit score. Congrats!!
