Family Balance Sheet

JUNE 4, 2015

After renting an office for 12 years, we had nothing to show for it and the space was starting to feel a bit cramped. We had our daughters later in life and at a crucial time in our lives, I stopped our retirement contribution. However a few years ago, we found ourselves with too much debt and not enough cash.

Around the time our second daughter was born, I found myself so overwhelmed and distracted that I missed paying the rent for our business office. I definitely have 'Pay Rent' on the list. I also got severely behind on some Quickbooks work for our business. Important tasks were slipping through my sleep deprived mind.

Our small business was going well and we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property. At that point, we will get back on track with saving for our retirement , our daughters’ education, and hopefully have some extra funds for fun. August 2013 was a month that I’d like to wipe from my memory.

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. We rent now and are much happier. People are surprised that we are in our fifties and renting, but it works for us.

And I was pregnant with our youngest daughter, so what should have been a joyous year was quite a stressful one. Our small business was going well, so we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property in the summer of 2012. It was a scary time for us. What got us through financially? Our emergency fund.

These are things that I never did before having our daughter, but I have so little time to rest and so in this season, if I can find things to save some time so I can get sleep, some rest, spend more time together as a family, or otherwise feel more restored, I’m doing that. They were a great price!
