How to Keep Your Finances Organized

Let’s talk about how to keep your finances organized! As busy parents or individuals, we need to take the time to keep our papers in order and not just chuck it in a drawer. As a new parent, I find late nights not partying but up with my crying son because those teeth are coming in to be hard to remember what I did with half the paper I have accumulated. As for my sleep, I will catch up on my sleep when he is about 20 years old, if all things work out great lol.

Let’s get back on schedule. We all do taxes right? I sure hope so… because this will help you. I got this financial organizing book last month and I love how it is organized. Can you guess where I bought this helper? If you guessed Dollarama, than your right….sorry I don’t have any prizes but this post will have to be your prize.

Here is how I keep my Finances Organized

This home finances organizer book was $2.50 and the brand is Mead.

It has a calendar from 2011- 2013 for a three-year reference.

Five pages of lines pages for any notes you may want to write down.

I loved how they designed this. They have monthly sections with pouches. Also, the pouches have an area for dates, descriptions of your expense type, amount if it has been paid or not and comments which is perfect to keep a record of what you have paid. They recommend you place paid things in the pouch and then record.

In the back, they also provided zip pouch to put unpaid bills and such in. This comes in handy when you have your bills coming in. Now you can slip this in to make sure you know what you haven’t paid yet.

Since I have bought this, things have become a lot easier with all the bills and others I have paid. Perfect for tax season… you will be ready to walk in with everything you need. Great for all those moms and parents who are busy and always on the go. If you want more organizing inspiration check out my post on how to organize your instruction manuals or report cards.
