Now
that the weather is getting nicer it is time for some spring cleaning.
So just like your closets need a good clean out every spring your
financial clutter also needs sprucing up. Between the holidays and just
the cold weather we tend to let some of our financial responsibility
fall behind. Being organized makes it much easier to handle all of your
money matters from paying bills to filing your important papers. I
strongly recommend spending a little bit of money to get you some file
holders, containers and labeling markers. When you are done with your
project you will feel rejuvenated and fresh with a new financial
beginning.
First get organized.
Go
all around the house and get all documents that need to be filed or
shredded. Right now Office Depot is offering free 5 pounds of shredding
with online coupon. http://www.officedepot.com/speciallinks/us/od/docs/taxcoupons_shredding.pdf
Get a folder for each type of document from bank statements, medical
bills, utilities, investments, tax returns and supporting documents,
credit card bills, and insurance bills then file.
De-cluttering your electronic device.
With
computers, smartphones and iPads our electronic life can get cluttered
as well. Start with your online banking information by eliminating
accounts you don’t pay any more and set up new accounts to save money on
postage by paying your bills online. Check out your emails and clear
out all the old ones. Remember that most emails from businesses will
allow you to unsubscribe at any time. If you don’t read them get rid of
them.
Now is the time to check your credit.
You
get three credit reports free per year. Go to annualcreditreport.com to
get your report and check for mistakes. Fix errors and make it a point
to note which areas could use some improvement.
Evaluate your insurance coverage
Make
sure your assets are adequately covered. Read your insurance policies
check deductables. Bundling your auto and home policies can save you
money. Call your agent or bring your policy to another company to
compare price.
Check your rates.
Do
a yearly housekeeping call to your major monthly bill producers like
cable, phone and internet checking if you are getting the lowest rate.
The worst thing they can say is “No” but you might get lucky by just
asking they may reduce your bill.
