Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 18, 2019

Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. In November 2016, we started contributing again to our retirement. We can now move on to other financial goals.

Once Non-Mortgage Debts are paid, cash flow a FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY. DONE November 2019. Paying off debt is not fun. That’s one reason why we included celebrations in our Debt Freedom Plan. Update: DONE Sept 2019!! Talk about it, pray about it, and stay focused on your WHY. In fact, it sucks!

Ryan is a high school math teacher and also officiates college basketball (November thru March). We are both planners and despise wasting money on debt/interest, which is what led us to pay off our mortgage as soon as we could! How much debt did you pay off? What inspired you to get debt free?

While we don’t regret the decision to pause retirement contributions, since it’s a big reason why we were able to pay off so much debt, we did start to feel uneasy. We’re no spring chickens, so in November 2016, we started contributing again to our retirement. Health Sharing Ministry. How do you eat an elephant?
