Family Balance Sheet
FEBRUARY 6, 2021
We…took out a car loan. The backstory: In November 2019, my van was in need of new tires and I was debating on whether to get the new tires or start looking for a replacement vehicle. Instead, we opted to replace the tires and take a year or so to save for a car. So in the effort of transparency, I took out a car loan.

I remember one morning my husband and I were sitting at the kitchen table contemplating if we should sell one of our cars. When that loan was paid off, we put that full monthly amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019 when we made our last non-mortgage loan payment. It was a scary time for us.

In September 2001, we bought a 1700 square foot home with a one-car garage and ONE full bathroom.
