Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 18, 2019

Our Debt Freedom Plan has been a long winding road. The journey started in 2012 when we bought an office building for our business and then found ourselves with a lot of debt and not enough cash flow. To ease my anxiety about our new loans, we took the Financial Peace University home course and it changed how we thought about debt.

In 2018, we decided to focus on just 2 main financial goals and before I share my 2019 goals I thought I would give you a recap on 2018. Save $10k in a savings account, specifically earmarked for medical expenses. Part of me didn’t even want to make a financial goal for 2019. The peace of mind is worth the cost. #

But 2019 was different. I wanted to reduce our non-mortgage debt, my clutter, my distractions, my impact on the environment, and my consumption of sweets. By the end of 2019, we nailed one major bullet point and I was on cloud nine. Read: A 2019 Recap. I want to INCREASE our savings and net worth.

I think I started reading FG regularly in 2018 or 2019. How did you get interested in saving money? As a teenager, I saved quite a bit of the money I earned babysitting and working in a dining hall. I liked seeing money accumulate and grow, and that has continued into adulthood! homemade bagels!

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. It was so big that I cried for two days straight– we paid off six figures in non-mortgage debts. After the first year, the new business debt weighed on me. Our non-mortgage loans totaled over six figures.

2 Additional Goals: If we save the $10k early, we’d like to work on the following 2 goals. This is our very last non-mortgage loan and we send an extra payment every month as part of our Debt Freedom Plan. Save for a camper upgrade. We’d like to start saving for it in 2018, if possible. Earn Additional Income.
