Family Balance Sheet
JUNE 24, 2021
Our home owner’s insurance, auto insurance, and local real-estate taxes (for our home and our business property) are due, and on top of that, there have been years where we also owed the Federal government. Every month going forward, transfer this money into a separate savings account that is connected to your checking account.

They already have savings accounts that they don’t know about. I send in $50 every month to each of their accounts. Things like your savings account, your retirement fund, your house, investments accounts, real estate…these are all assets.

Our home-owner’s insurance, auto insurance, and local real-estate taxes (for our home and our business property) are due, and on top of that, we also owed the Federal government this year.

One way to do this in a two income family is to live off of one income and bank the other. Figure out what you need to live and put the rest in a secure account. Put the holiday gift of cash into your account. Put the savings you made at the grocery with coupons into the savings account. We did that.
