Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

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 spent the next few years building our savings back up to the level we had prior to 2007. What got us through financially? Our emergency fund. March 2020 arrived.

I cannot stress enough how much this has saved me time and I really think money too. Ordering online really challenges me to plan every single meal for the week, which I believe saves me extra trips to the store. Instead of buying gallons of iced tea at the store which can cost about $2.50

2 – Save $10k in a savings account, specifically earmarked for medical expenses. We blew through our health savings account, and now need to save another $10k so we’re not caught off guard if another emergency were to happen. Save for a camper upgrade. If not, we’ll start saving in 2019.

We made one big financial goal for 2019 and are striving and working hard to make progress. Our goal for 2019 is NOT to feel deprived, but rather find creative ways to get through the year without unnecessary spending. Do you buy groceries, but have nothing to eat? Are you buying too many clothes with an already packed closet?
