Family Balance Sheet

SEPTEMBER 20, 2016

It started with $40,000 in consumer debt (vehicles, credit cards, small student loan) and then sold our home and eliminated the $140,000 of mortgage debt. While we were paying off our debt, my husband and I both had a realization about our home. So we decided to sell our home and become renters for the first time.

Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 12, 2016

I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. How my grandparents paid off $55,000 of their home mortgage in one year. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. How much debt did you pay off?

For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations. We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. Peggy: Oh yes!
