Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 11, 2020

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. We paid off our last non-mortgage debt in September and have since sent that loan’s monthly payment to our mortgage principal. Update our Debt Freedom Plan to reflect lessons learned during this crisis.

homemade bagels! and realized we should pay off this debt as quickly as possible. My parents didn’t teach me about finances outright, but I saw them reconciling their checkbook, living below their means, and I knew they invested in the stock market. __ Julia, I am so impressed by your canned goods! for anyone curious ? )

I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting all the gifts I’ve been given, including my finances. I was in 4th grade, and had 2 younger siblings when they began their debt-repayment journey. We all ended up with some student loan debt, but much less than we would have without my parents cash-flowing some of the costs.

Building a college finance fund takes dedication and consistency. But those can saddle your children with debt for 20 years or more! Many friends may be willing to split the cost of a bottle of wine, or make homemade margaritas instead of going out. When your children are college age, they can always get a private student loan.
