Spring Cleaning Chores to Get your Financial House in Order
- Mop up your winter bills. You had a great Christmas. Now if you need to take on an extra job, get
rid of an item of luxury, or dip slightly into savings, it’s important to pay off
Christmas debt rather than letting it pile up in the corners.
- Now that the taxes are in the bag, it’s time to
organize for next year. Think of it as
tax maintenance. Like painting the
Golden Gate Bridge…once you’ve finished, it’s time to start again.
- Add on to your savings. If you can get rid of financial clutter, put
the savings into your retirement fund.
Or create a vacation fund. Or as
mother always said, add it to next year’s Christmas fund and you won’t have to
stress about gifts when the time comes to make merry.
- Schedule a day when you can sit alone or with
your partner to view your insurance, retirement contributions, and other
savings plans. Annual analysis of your
financial position in the world helps keep things fresh and on track.
