Debbi's Frugal Forum June 3, 2012


June is the half way point to the end of 2012. Are you prepared? The beginning of 2012 you should have started your budget along with keeping track of all your expenses. If you haven’t done this now is the time. Change what you can control. We can’t control the price of groceries or the economy but we have total control over our monthly income and our budget. Get organized, use your coupons, reduce your debt, and build your stockpile.

Start working your list of 2012 Resolutions:

1.       Make out your budget. Mint.com is a great online resource to take control of your finances.

2.       Order a copy of your credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com

3.       Check your insurance coverage: health, life, property, auto and others. Visit one or two agents and ask them to explain different insurance plans and provide quotes.

4.       Take a look at your retirement financial plans. Talk to a financial advisor at your bank to set up a retirement fund.

5.       Look for ways to improve your energy efficiency. Examine your house for potential leaks or add extra insulation. Sign up for Kentucky Utilities energy audit at www.lge-ku.com.

6.       Now is the time to get healthy. Take that walk outside, start a garden and watch what you eat.

7.       Start organizing and cutting your coupons.  Check store sales to match up with your coupons.
