Family Balance Sheet

MAY 4, 2021

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. Credit Card Cash Back Redemptions in April: $439.62. Years ago during our Debt Freedom Plan, I avoided using credit cards, not because we had credit card debt, but I was trying to limit our overall spending.

I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. I had an unexpected surprise hit my credit card in February. This trip was a reward for our years of paying off six figures of debt , and we were going to pack a lot into our week.

Working to improve your credit score and reduce your debt-to-income ratio before applying can help get you the best loan terms. Common reasons include paying off debt, financing a large purchase such as a vehicle or a boat, or covering the cost of a major expense like a wedding or a home renovation.

Maureen eliminated $79,000 of credit card and student loan debt less than 3 years. Chris and his wife made a financial goal to switch to an all cash lifestyle, instead of relying on credit cards. Their 2017 goal is to wipe away $30,000 from their mortgage to keep them on track to pay it off in 36 months.

We need to find/earn even more money each month to throw at the debt to make our goal by December 31, 2016. It’s a crazy goal, but I like a challenge and I’m looking forward to our reward when everything is paid off. So I concocted an idea to pay them off early and wrote our Debt Freedom Plan.
