Family Balance Sheet

MAY 6, 2020

What got us through financially? 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. I still use my spreadsheet to this day! I decided to use Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps as a guide and I wrote our first Debt Freedom Plan.

Pre-coronavirus, we didn’t think twice about shaking a stranger’s hand, using the ATM keypad, or going to the grocery store without donning a hazmat suit. We didn’t have enough cash saved to buy a car without a loan and that wasn’t sitting well with me. I have been using it ever since.

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. In 2020, we still use and are thankful for Medi-share. The Heavy Hitters: 1. We increased our income.
