Family Balance Sheet
JANUARY 25, 2019
I promise I won’t start reciting Christmas carols, but while the holidays are still somewhat fresh in our minds, I think it would be a good idea to start planning for Christmas 2019. Did you use cash or put your purchases on a credit card? A credit Christmas equals: a “how are we going to pay for this” Christmas.

Welcome to the 2019 Christmas Savings Club. On the 25th of every month from January to November in 2019, I will hold a virtual meeting on the blog to give updates on our progress, motivate one another, and help all of us save for a cash Christmas. In May, I made money from a yard sale and put $50 towards our Christmas savings.

We are a quarter of the way through 2019, and that means it’s time to check in on those new year’s resolutions! When I looked back at the last three months, I realized my resolution for saving money was not on track. I recommend choosing the category where you currently spend the most money every month.

We didn’t carry over credit card balances, we paid off our car notes early, and the interest rate on the student loan was at a low 2.75%. We agreed that credit card debt wasn’t very smart, but a car loan? There were a lot more fun and purposeful things we could have done with that money than pay the lender.

Found Money in January: $1681. Found money can be found from various sources, such as rebates, refunds, online sales, or even the ground. We think we’ll use the money towards summer vacation. The money is going towards new furniture for our basement. I put down half the money and financed the other half.

A person can bring home a big paycheck but have a low net worth if they spend most of their money. For example, your home would count toward your net worth if you’re willing to use it for a home equity line of credit or sell it should the need arise. Liabilities : Any money you owe to another person or entity falls under this category.
