Family Balance Sheet

FEBRUARY 19, 2022

Stanley’s book, Millionaire Women Next Door: The Many Journeys of Successful American Businesswomen, and I had an aha moment. Chapter 17 in this book is titled, “Why not run the family office?” I read this book around the same time that I became a mother and left the full-time workforce to stay at home with our new baby.

I have been sharing my passion for simple living on GrowingSlower.com since 2011, and I now have added the Real Mom’s Guide series of books and courses to further encourage my readers! I finally got inspired that we should at least start working on this huge goal of being debt free when I read Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover.

We paid off our law school and car loans several years ago, just because we didn’t like having them hang over our heads, but then we took a Financial Peace University class and made it our goal to pay off our house as well. Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living?

Dave Ramsey suggests in his book, The Total Money Makeover (affiliate link) , that you create a starter emergency fund of $1000. You will be so thankful later. Review your statements, because there might be subscriptions that you forgot about. This is an area that I also need to review. Cancel unused subscriptions.

Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living? We had tried other methods in the past, but found this one suited us best since it forced us to focus on one goal at a time, rather than trying to do it all (pay off debt and contribute to savings and retirement).

I love photography, archery, yoga, reading self-help books, taking spinning classes and being with my friends and family as much as possible. Did you follow a particular debt freedom plan or book, such as Dave Ramsey or Debt-Proof Living? Review bank accounts daily. What are your financial goals now? No, I didn’t.
