Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 26, 2021

We have lived through some challenging months as small business owners, but 2007 was a very tough year for us. That emergency fund saved our business, our sanity, and our marriage. By the end of 2007, our business picked up again–thankfully–but not before we practically wiped out our savings.

As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some tough months, but in 2007, it was a tough year. Save it and forget about it. Which comes first: saving for an emergency OR paying off debt?
