Spring cleaning should be done by now! But, sometimes we think it’s all dusting and mopping. Taking some time to review your financial situation is another IMPORTANT way to prepare for the new season. Here are a few ways to get started:
👉REVIEW YOUR BUDGET - Over the past couple of months you may or may not have gotten carried away with your spending. Try to create a spreadsheet with income and expenses over the winter season. Just focus on getting all the info into one sheet.
👉TRACK EXPENSES - Now that you’ve put all your transactions in one list, you can easily identify the leisurely spending along with the intentional spending. PLUS the streams of income too.
👉CONSOLIDATE ACCOUNTS - With proper understanding of your account activities, you can now potentially consolidate accounts. Meaning you bring them together into one for the purpose of better spending decisions.
👉REVIEW SUBSCRIPTIONS - Decision time!!! You know that you aren’t using every single one of those streaming services… Use this as an opportunity to trim some of the fat off of your subscription lists. This could lead to huge savings.
👉AUTOMATE SAVINGS - A strategy not all of us do, but really should. When we have some extra income, and want to be better with money, it’s always a good idea to automatically have your bank put it into savings for you. Removes temptation.
👉SET FINANCIAL GOALS - Lastly, you should really set goals for how you want to approach the new season. It’s always beneficial to have direction, and it makes your confidence in decisions that much easier.
