There’s a yearly fee and a learning curve, but I love YNAB and it helps me stay on budget and financially organized with our day-to-day checking and savings accounts. Create our family’s financial goals and Debt Freedom Plan. Thank you, Susan! Pay our bills in a timely manner.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears were shed here, but we both agree that having no mortgage gave us a serious leg up on our retirement savings and other financial goals. My biggest financial regret is the amount of money we spent on restaurant meals from the time we were married and both working full time to when we had kids.

We had high deductible health plans from 2004 – 2016 and contributed many years to a health savings account. We used those funds to pay for our medical bills in 2017 and that account is now depleted and closed. Our main financial goal for 2018 is to save $10k for our Annual Household Portion with Medi-Share.

Now that we’ve paid off six figures of non-mortgage debt , we are working on saving 6 months’ expenses and maybe even more.

Being self-employed, we have a higher starter fund on hand and when we pay off our non-mortgage debt, we will save to at least 6 months expenses and maybe even more. Remember this account is specifically for your emergency fund. Become hyper-focused on funding this account. You will be so thankful later.
