While my spouse and I were in the throes of child rearing we didn’t think much about providing an intentional or structured set of lessons around personal finance. We paid our boys a weekly allowance. Both of our boys had lawn mowing jobs in summer and snow shoveling jobs in winter. Credit cards require maturity.

For many households, their finances and budgets are in limbo. My family’s finances have also been affected. As the Family Office Manager , I handle the day-to-day finances for our family and I needed a way to communicate our finances to my husband. Boy am I glad we don’t have that loan right now!

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. Boy, are we glad we made that decision. Finances after the Pandemic: We went through a rough time back in 2012/2013 and we wrote our Debt Freedom Plan as a result of it. No car payment = peace of mind.

We have two boys, ages 3 years and 10 months old. Ryan is a high school math teacher and also officiates college basketball (November thru March). We skipped Baby Step #5 (college funding) because we didn’t have kids at the time. We’re now on Baby Step #7 (building wealth, which includes college funding).
