Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 11, 2019

In previous years, I would create a long list of financial goals, only to have little accomplished by the end of the December. I almost stopped writing goals down altogether. In 2018, we decided to focus on just 2 main financial goals and before I share my 2019 goals I thought I would give you a recap on 2018.

In fact, one of my favorite things to do at the end of December each year is to set financial goals for the new year. The most important step is to create realistic goals.

Our 2019 Financial Goal. Happy New Year’s 2019: In January 2019, we were down to one final non-mortgage loan, so we created just one financial goal for the year—-to pay off that last non-mortgage debt by December. We can now move on to other financial goals. 1st Update in June 2014.

We also were working on paying for Jon’s master’s degree and then my own masters degree, which I completed in December 2013. This motivated Jon to not ever feel like he had to keep working at a job that he was clearly overwhelmed by just because he couldn’t afford to do anything else. I probably said to much as it is!
