Family Balance Sheet
JANUARY 20, 2023
That was the year that we made the goal of paying off the last of our non-mortgage debts and we achieved it by September of that year. My husband paid his entire way through undergrad and my parents covered a significant portion, so we come from both angles and our strategy is a compromise. I spent about $870/month on groceries.

When I got my first job in high school, my parents said I had to save a percentage of every paycheck.

So in 2016, I will continue to share our journey to pay off our debt. Debt Freedom Plan Updates. I’ll elaborate on this soon, but in the mean time, here is our Debt Freedom Plan.

The weight of debt can be so heavy mentally in addition to the direct effects of it. Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too! Dinner is dinner!

Today’s Debt Free Story is a guest post from Chris Peach. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the phone call I received from Andrea: She was checking out of the grocery store with our 10 month old on her hip and our card was declined – insufficient funds. He and his wife paid off $52,000 in just 7 months.
