Family Balance Sheet
OCTOBER 15, 2021
Way back in 2008 I signed up for a Upromise account and then it sat unused for many years. I don’t recall why I never used the account, but I guess it just slipped my mind. Right before the pandemic started, I opened 529 College Savings Accounts for our daughters. Hello, 2020. 108 Months X $72 = $7,776!

2 – We opened up high-interest savings accounts and earned $250 in interest. We are in what I call our “shovel season of life” Our oldest daughter leaves for college in the fall of 2024 and we have a big savings goal to hit before then. The money hit our account in April. Ask and ye shall receive!

March was pretty good to me…I was able to add $307.55 Starting January 2012, we set up an automatic withdraw to a new “vacation savings account” of $25 a week. Having the ”vacation savings account” is like a back-up plan so we don’t feel strapped while we’re there.

March was very good to me…I added $557.10 I buy the gift card I want through QuickRewards , get paid for doing that, use that same gift card to shop online through QR, and get paid for that too. I collect the gift cards and use them to order essentials for our trips. 52-Week Money Saving Challenge = $55.00.

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. I calculate the per-hour rate from my plasma donations to make sure it’s a good use of my time. This money was put into my Christmas Savings account. March 2021 – I found $747. Progresso Refund: $3.50.

Save $10k in a savings account, specifically earmarked for medical expenses. In March of 2018, we had our wills, medical directives, and powers of attorney completed by an attorney. I have yet to write a Medi-Share recap for 2018, but our goal was to replenish the healthcare savings account that we depleted in 2017.

Life suddenly changed for most of us in March 2020 and this past year of the pandemic has reinforced how important an emergency fund is. If you’re able, maybe use some of your stimulous money to put towards building an emergency fund. It was a very scary time for us. We had enough to get us through one more month.
