Family Balance Sheet

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

We live in metro Phoenix, in a 70s tract house that we’ve been gradually re-doing. We paid off over $147,000 in debt (actually way over that amount, if you want to count a $210,000 rental property that I sold at a slight loss.) From start to finish it took us a very long time — I would guess 10 years.

Tell us about yourself. I am used to moving a lot! I had $56,000 of debt when I decided to become debt free. I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. I had planned to pay it all off in 2.5 Not using debt helps create the connection.
