Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 6, 2012

Designate a Family Office Manager. But I also want to be the Family Office Manager (FOM). The Family Office Manager might track spending, reconcile and manage the accounts, pay the bills on time, and update the Family Balance Sheet. I developed this spreadsheet years ago, as a way to communicate our finances with my husband.

Family Balance Sheet

JUNE 4, 2015

My husband and I are self-employed and own a chiropractic office where he is the chiropractor and I am the business manager. After renting an office for 12 years, we had nothing to show for it and the space was starting to feel a bit cramped. We are communicating regularly. Unfortunately things changed rather quickly.

MAY 6, 2020

I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive. We spent the next few years building our savings back up to the level we had prior to 2007. What got us through financially? Our emergency fund. Yep, life was good.

Our small business was going well and we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property. Communicate with your spouse. At that point, we will get back on track with saving for our retirement , our daughters’ education, and hopefully have some extra funds for fun. Yep, life was good.

The Family Balance Sheet is a form that I created to help me communicate the state of our finances with my husband. It is a one page, visual reminder of our assets (checking, savings and retirement accounts), our liabilities (our debts) and our financial goals. Clean your home office or work space.

How did you get interested in saving money? My interest in frugality is less about saving money specifically, and more about making good use of the resources I have. What’s the “why” behind your money-saving efforts? What single action or decision has saved you the most money over your life?
