Make a Family Budget

Our Family Budget Spreadsheet Saved Us From Bankruptcy
When I graduated with my Masters in Business (MBA) in May 2010, I had $99,856 in federal student loan debt. If you’re familiar with bankruptcy law in the United States, a federal student loan is literally the only type of debt you cannot have discharged. Failure to pay your student loans back can ruin any chance you have at financial freedom.
The weight of this debt was crushing. The lowest I could get my monthly payment was upwards of $800 a month. That’s a rent payment in most areas!
It didn’t take long before I found myself crushed with credit card debt.
When I got pregnant unexpectedly in January 2012, our family budget didn’t look too promising.
During my pregnancy, we had to defer my student loans which meant I was capitalizing an insane amount of interest into the principle of the loan. On top of that, we were drowning in monthly credit card payments.
It truly felt like we would never get ahead. We were spending way faster than money came in and we had no idea if we’d have enough paycheck to paycheck to pay the bills.
This is when I came up with a budget spreadsheet that was a game-changer for our family budget. This easy family budget plan allowed me to project our cash flow out for the entire year.
