It’s the first day of spring which means it’s time to start thinking about financial spring cleaning.
I bet if you go through with it you’ll find yourself in a better financial position and you’ll feel good about what you accomplished.
Here are some things to consider:
- Set financial goals for the rest of the year
- Reevaluate or get started using a budget
- Increase your savings to your retirement plan by 1% – you’ll never notice it’s not in your paycheck
- Increase the amount that you’re paying monthly on your debt
- Shop for better insurance rates – use an independent insurance broker rather than a big-name insurance company
- Pull a credit report if you haven’t already this year and make sure that nothing looks off
- Cancel unused memberships and subscription services
- Start planning now for summer travel costs
- Plan for summer home projects & yard maintenance
- Have a yard sale and get rid of all the stuff laying around your house that you don’t use
