Family Balance Sheet

OCTOBER 13, 2014

Welcome to 31 Days to Organize Your Finances. We’ll talk about cash flow, budgets, debts, and all of the nitty gritty of our finances that might not be fun to talk about, but are so important to discuss. Once your finances are in order, your goal should be to increase that number to: three months of living expenses? Six months?

In highly affluent circles, a family office is a private wealth management firm that manages the finances and investments for the ultra-wealthy and their families. While I was still helping my husband from home with his business, I felt like I wasn’t contributing to our finances and that drove me crazy. Project short-term cash needs.

MARCH 4, 2024

Although my parents never specifically taught me about finances, they lived a frugal life by necessity. I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. I grew up in banking and held other finance-related positions during my working years.

We would love to take our kids now that they are a bit older and would remember the vacation – plus it would be fun to show them the beach that mommy and daddy were married on!

Yeah, times are tough, but that is no excuse to let those vacation days slip by. Staycations can save people money, but so can being a savvy vacation planner. When you plan your vacation equipped with the right knowledge and a few well-placed clicks, you can afford to LEAVE and actually GO on a vacation. Here’s how.

These days, if you spend any time on most personal finance blogs, one of the author’s main goals in life is spending less money on stuff and more money travelling.

Was there a particular event?
