It’s Friday. Do you know where your money is?
A day late, but not a 💵 dollar short!
Pick one day a week, 📆 maybe Finance Friday, to check on your finances. It doesn’t have to be time consuming. Look over you debit and 💳 credit accounts to make sure the charges are what they should be, that your balances are what you expect, and that you’ve got necessary payments scheduled.
Just checking in once a week will help you avoid unnecessary fees, and will alert 🚨you to any suspicious activity. You don’t want to miss an opportunity to fix overcharges. 💸
Online banking makes this so easy that you can do it while catching up on your favorite tv shows. 😊
Finances are a major source of stress for many families. Any steps you can take to reduce stress also reduces health risk, and believe it or not, knowing where your finances stand is the first step in ensuring they’re where you want them to be, or toward developing a game plan to get them there.
If you’d like a second opinion on whether you’re making the best financial decisions, I have a colleague who is a financial planner extraordinaire! She will go over your info and offer suggestions on next steps … and that consultation is absolutely free.
