Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 2, 2021

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. We’ve had an Aflac Accident plan for many years and have never needed it until the fall of 2020 when we used it twice. Yep, I found a $20 bill while running on the beach! One can be hopeful…lol.

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. In January 2020, we booked round-trip flights to Paris for the four of us. Over the years, I have found money through rebates, refunds, online sales, and even the ground.

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. My beautiful petunias in 2020. I made quite a bit more from the 4th quarter of 2020 where I do most of my Christmas shopping. Yep, I found a $20 bill while running on the beach! Rakuten: $11.31.

How we got to six figures of non-mortgage debt: In the summer of 2012, we found an opportunity to purchase an office building for our small business. We had been renting for over 10 years and we were ready to find a property to move our business to and eventually build our net worth. Everything looked great on paper.

The point of the starter emergency fund is to get you through until you pay off your non-mortgage debts, at which point, you build a more extensive fund. During our debt payoff mode, we camped and went on beach trips with extended family, but never left the country…honestly, we never left the east coast.
