Balance Sheet — Assets
Your household assets by category, with guidance.
Assets
$221,500- Emergency fund (Money market account)$60,000
- Fully funded and accessible. Keep it untouched and in place.
- Bank checking$8,500
- Money market$5,000
- Down payment & closing savings$105,000
- 401(k) / 403(b)$25,000
- Avoid borrowing or withdrawing from retirement for a down payment unless it's part of a deliberate plan. Penalties and taxes can be costly.
- Vehicles$18,000
Liabilities & Cash Flow
Liabilities
$15,000- Student loan — Federal loans (Jane)$15,000
- Fixed-payment loans count fully in your debt-to-income ratio. Paying off a small one can raise how much home you qualify for.
Cash flow & goal check
Monthly cash flow: $1,730 ($9,500 in · $7,770 out). Your income can fund these goals within 3 years.
- 6-month emergency fund ($0)Done
- Down payment & closing costs ($0)Done
- Pay off non-mortgage debt ($15,000)9 months
Your Personalized Action Plan
- With your emergency fund in place, review your down-payment and closing-cost savings before making a purchase decision.
Pay Yourself First
Set aside at least $950 each month — 10% of your $9,500 total monthly income. Maintain your automatic savings habit and protect your fully funded reserves before committing cash to a purchase.
Coaching for Your Next Move
- Keep the $60,000 emergency reserve separate from the $105,000 purchase fund. Money-market reserves are not counted again as general cash.
- On a $450,000 home, a 20% down payment is $90,000 and estimated closing costs at 2.5% are $11,250, leaving $3,750 in the purchase fund. Request lender quotes for the complete monthly payment before choosing a home.
- Continue saving at least $950 monthly. The current budget leaves $1,730 monthly after retirement contributions; stress-test the new mortgage, taxes, insurance and maintenance against that budget.
- Obtain preapproval, compare loan offers and schedule an inspection. This ready example illustrates preparation, not guaranteed loan approval.
Debt Freedom Plan
With $500 extra per month. Minimum payments only: 89 months, $2,646 interest.
| Rank | Strategy | Debt-free in | Total interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Snowflake | 19 mo | $565 |

| #3 | Avalanche | 23 mo | $667 |
| #4 | Snowball | 23 mo | $667 |
