Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. I feel like going forward life will be known as Pre-Coronavirus and Post-Coronavirus, kind of like what happened after 9/11.

In previous years, I would create a long list of financial goals, only to have little accomplished by the end of the December.

As I reflect back to January 2016, I started that year pretty determined to find debt freedom by paying off the balance of our non-mortgage debts. I even created a hashtag, #crushingdebt2016.
