On Christmas day, my husband and I spent 4 hours together traveling in a car to visit his family. We talked through some issues and opportunities for our business and our personal, family, and financial goals. Our 2012 Financial Goals. We have set a goal date of July 2015 to pay off all of our debt. Finish Will.

I’ve been working behind the scenes on a tool that I personally use to track and organize our finances: Family Budget Spreadsheets. This blog was based on my very first spreadsheet, the Family Balance Sheet. That first family balances sheet sparked my love for spreadsheets, and over the years I created many more out of necessity.

If you are like the majority of us, then you spent the last couple of days in 2010 coming up with your goals for 2011. Coming up with our list of goals is not usually an issue… it’s sticking to them. Choose realistic goals. We need to make sure that the goals we are setting are actually attainable.

I manage the finances for our business and our family and by August 2013, I felt the weight of the situation. On top of our normal day to day expenses, the new property taxes were due, we had more ownership expenses than we realized, and we had a family to feed. I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for everything that month.

Daughters and sons of very wealthy families sometimes want to disown the family wealth in order to prove themselves. Some grown children move thousands of miles away and change their names in order to avoid the ‘taint’ of the wealth and family name. Parents may be trying to keep the family together.
