Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

How Our Debt Freedom Plan Prepared Us for the Pandemic. And I was pregnant with our youngest daughter, so what should have been a joyous year was quite a stressful one. 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’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. While we were still renting an apartment, I researched areas with lower property taxes, scouted out my ideal neighborhoods, and waited for a smaller, less expensive house to come on the market.

However a few years ago, we found ourselves with too much debt and not enough cash. Within a year after settlement, we found ourselves with a lot of debt, not enough cash flow, and very little set aside for emergencies. We had our daughters later in life and at a crucial time in our lives, I stopped our retirement contribution.

Our daughter is 24 and was adopted from Eastern Europe when she was one week short of a year old. He married the love of his life almost two years ago, so now we have a daughter-in-law, too. Alan and I, by choice, bought land in an area with low property taxes. Our son is 29 and biological.
