Family Balance Sheet

Did you make a goal to pay off debt this year? For many years, we made a yearly goal to chip away at our six figures of non-mortgage debt. It took us years to pay it all off, but we achieved it in 2019. This list became our personal Debt Freedom Plan. Paying off debt is not fun, in fact, it sucks!

Yet after listening to Dave’s approach, I knew I didn’t want to be anybody’s slave and if I was being honest with myself, the total amount of debt payments we made every month was ridiculous. There were a lot more fun and purposeful things we could have done with that money than pay the lender. Pay Off Mortgage Debt.

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 2013, we took a controversial step and stopped contributing to our retirement plans, so we could focus on steps 2-4.

We need to find/earn even more money each month to throw at the debt to make our goal by December 31, 2016. It’s a crazy goal, but I like a challenge and I’m looking forward to our reward when everything is paid off. So I concocted an idea to pay them off early and wrote our Debt Freedom Plan.
