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.

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. Take a deep breath, because with a well-funded emergency savings account, you're covered.

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. Your wants and dreams are secondary and should be saved for separately. Create a separate savings account and call it your Emergency Fund.

As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some challenging months, but the year 2007 was especially tough for us. Every month, our income must cover our business and household expenses, but many months in 2007, our income barely covered our business expenses, leaving nothing left for our household.
