Family Balance Sheet
DECEMBER 29, 2020
My mission has always been to help families build a strong financial plan, gain confidence with their money, and live the life of their dreams. That is why I created Family Budget Spreadsheets — a bundle of spreadsheets that we personally use to plan and budget our money. This is a 12-month spreadsheet.

I’ve been working behind the scenes on a tool that I personally use to track and organize our finances: Family Budget Spreadsheets. This blog was based on my very first spreadsheet, the Family Balance Sheet. That first family balances sheet sparked my love for spreadsheets, and over the years I created many more out of necessity.

A few years back, my extended family took a trip to Holland, Michigan. My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. As an adult, it’s important to me to continue to be generous, as well as, provide financial security for myself and my family. A freebie cabinet. Childhood joy.

We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close. Aside from those exceptions, we did all the work ourselves and with the help of family. We didn’t start a family until we were married for almost 15 years.) Alan and I, by choice, bought land in an area with low property taxes. Go figure.

My family’s finances have also been affected. 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. It was during this time that I created my first Family Balance Sheet. Everything changed. Our emergency fund.

Many years ago, our cash flow sucked, we put Christmas on a credit card, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for a large tax bill. I would never tell someone to cancel the gym membership if they use it, and if you do use a gym membership, find out how my husband got a FREE family gym membership.

I manage the finances for our business and our family and by August 2013, I felt the weight of the situation. On top of our normal day to day expenses, the new property taxes were due, we had more ownership expenses than we realized, and we had a family to feed. My husband and I have always felt financially responsible.
