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. It kept me up at night.

I have written often about the importance of an emergency fund. We paid off our last non-mortgage debt in September and have since sent that loan’s monthly payment to our mortgage principal. We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. Cash is King.

An Update on Medi-Share – September 2017. If nothing changes, this loan will be paid off by end of 2019, but I’d love to move that up and say adios to this loan! If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. However, we could use a year of extra thriftiness to find any extra funds to accelerate the $10k.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. When that loan was paid off, we put that full amount towards the third loan and this continued until September 2019. An Update on Medi-Share – September 2017. The Heavy Hitters: 1. We drive older cars.
