Family Balance Sheet

Instead, I look for creative ways to save my family money in all aspects of our lives. My goal has always been to live well on less while achieving our big financial goals. I also opened another Capital One 360 account for our emergency fund that was also sitting in a zero-interest savings account.

Hello and welcome to the 316th Carnival of Personal Finance- Family Edition. This week I am reminding you all about those special people in your life- your family. It was during this rather taxing weekend that I was reminded of how great a loving family can be. Families are our rock, our support system, and our fans.

Whether you are looking to save extra money for your emergency fund and potential unexpected expense, a new kitchen, or your kids’ college tuition—you name it—you will require self-discipline and a plan to reach any financial goal.

A budget could help you avoid late and insufficient funds fees, find money for an upcoming trip or expense, and ease a disagreement over finances in a marriage. Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life. We have been using this system ever since.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. Our business was doing very well, and we were excited about the opportunity to own a property outside of our home. It was so big that I cried for two days straight– we paid off six figures in non-mortgage debts.
