Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 16, 2017

Going from a consistent paycheck to one that varied month to month was an adjustment and required a lot of communication between me and my husband.

I went through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University when I was 18 years old. That inspired me to be intentional with my finances and to follow Dave’s six steps. When my wife and I got married, we both made the decision that our first financial priority would be becoming debt free. We try to discuss finances once a week.

Even though I was helping my husband from home part-time with his business, I still felt like I wasn’t contributing to our finances and that drove me crazy. But chapter 17 helped me realize that I could contribute substantially to our finances–just in a different way. No surprise there; I write a blog about family finances.

After trying to extend credit to finance the vacation and we were denied (best thing to ever happen to us) we realized we made too much money to be living like this and something had to change.

I think communication and being on the same page really helped out. Who handles the day-to-day finances in your home or do you work on it equally?

Together, we made the goal of paying it off early though. It’s important to be on the same page as your spouse about finances. I would break down and cry a few times, but he stayed calm, reminded me of our goals, and always gave me a say in opting out of it. Constant communication is so important.
