Family Balance Sheet

JUNE 22, 2020

It was so big that I cried for two days straight– we paid off six figures in non-mortgage debts. How we got to six figures of non-mortgage debt: In the summer of 2012, we found an opportunity to purchase an office building for our small business. After the first year, the new business debt weighed on me.

This is our very last non-mortgage loan and we send an extra payment every month as part of our Debt Freedom Plan. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. I’ll apply that money to the debt.

Multi-pronged answer here: historically it was hard-wired in my DNA as a necessity but also being a good steward of what we’re blessed with & being able to give/help others; having enough for emergency funds was always a high priority as well. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.

As God is my witness, it WILL be the year that we pay off the last of our non-mortgage debt. That was the month I didn’t know if we had enough funds to cover our expenses. At the time, we had 4 business loans and 1 student loan that were weighing on us, so we created our Debt Freedom Plan. Apply any Found Money to Debt.

Most of them are related to our small business, my husband’s chiropractic office, but last January I got a bee in my bonnet about debt…thank you, Dave Ramsey. I tricked …nudged my husband into following along and together we wrote out our Debt Freedom Plan. Debt Free Stories. My Themes for 2015: 1.

I pick up a lot of them at garage sales for 25 cents to a $1. I’m always on the look out for investment books I haven’t yet read. One I obtained in that manner is “The Sound Mind Investing Handbook” by Austin Pryor. My copy has a copyright date of 2008. I personally know of a 43 year old guy has done all of the above.
