Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

Our emergency fund. I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive. We reduced our spending where we could, but the money to pay any shortfall each month came from our emergency fund. Yep, life was good.

We are still working through some numbers and there might be some adjustments in the timelines we have given ourselves, but these are our financial priorities for 2012. Our 2012 Financial Goals. Increase Family Emergency Fund to Six Months Salary. Save for a Walt Disney World Vacation. Finish Will. No more excuses.

The journey started in 2012 when we bought an office building for our business and then found ourselves with a lot of debt and not enough cash flow. We still have a mortgage, so we’re technically not DEBT-FREE, but we paid off over 6 figures of business debts and student loans since 2012 and have wiped out our NON-mortgage debt.

I have written often about the importance of an emergency fund. This is not an elective, fun, no-spend month like what we did in January to find funds for our summer vacation. Finances after the Pandemic: We went through a rough time back in 2012/2013 and we wrote our Debt Freedom Plan as a result of it.

One of my personal goals in 2012 is to travel more. Okay, congratulations on that, but have you fully funded your emergency fund? If the answer to any of those questions is no, maybe it’s time to reconsider the vacation. Get all your financial stuff in order to make that vacation even better.
