Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 15, 2021

I don’t recall why I never used the account, but I guess it just slipped my mind. Right before the pandemic started, I opened 529 College Savings Accounts for our daughters. My oldest was in eighth grade and one of my goals for 2020 was to start saving consistently for both daughters’ college education.

Life suddenly changed for most of us in March 2020 and this past year of the pandemic has reinforced how important an emergency fund is. Do you have enough cash to cover them or would you have to rely on high-interest credit cards or a loan from your family? That emergency fund saved our business, our sanity, and our marriage.

I added the check to our savings. In March, I added $70 in $1 bills that I had been setting aside for the past year. Last year, a friend of mine on Facebook shared that she saves $1 bills that have Federal Reserve letters that match the first letter of her kids’ names. It was a pretty easy month to find the cash.
