We talked through some issues and opportunities for our business and our personal, family, and financial goals. We are still working through some numbers and there might be some adjustments in the timelines we have given ourselves, but these are our financial priorities for 2012. Our 2012 Financial Goals.

Becoming debt-free became very appealing and the idea of being able to give more, save more, and live more was the direction we wanted to go. We also didn’t feel comfortable with Dave’s suggestion of a $1000 starter emergency fund, which is his step #1. Start college funds for our two girls.

A few years ago, we were struggling financially and I felt like our situation was hopeless. At the time, I wasn’t sure how we were going to pay our monthly bills, so future plans like funding our retirement , our daughters’ college education, or a lavish vacation were not on my mind. Start saving for college.

“The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates a sense of order, trains forethought, and so broadens the mind.” Munger so aptly puts it, learning how to save money fast is an education in and of itself. This is technically free money that gives your 401(K) a real boost.

Today’s Debt Free Story is from Olivia. What inspired you to get debt free? We did follow Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps to becoming debt free. We skipped Baby Step #5 (college funding) because we didn’t have kids at the time. We purposefully waited to have kids (4 years) until we felt financially sound.
