My family’s finances have also been affected. How Our Debt Freedom Plan Prepared Us for the Pandemic. Our first storm: 2007. The year 2007 held such promise for us when it started, but by the end of the year, we were brought to our knees. For a variety of reasons, our business slowed down in 2007.

January 2021 was a month of extremes in my family’s finances. We’re converting our basement to a family room area and the original family room (in the pic above) is becoming a home office. I said goodbye to mini-van life in January when we traded in our 2007 Honda Odyssey for a 2018 Toyota Highlander.

The year 2007 held such promise for us when it started, but by the end of the year we were brought to our knees. As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some tough months, but in 2007, it was a tough year. Which comes first: saving for an emergency OR paying off debt? It was a scary time for us.
