As you declutter your home this season, you may want to tidy up your finances too. Spring is almost over, but it's still the perfect time for a mid-year money refresh, and a few simple tips can go a long way:
Review your spending: Are you sticking to your budget and savings goals?
Check your credit: Pull a free credit report and scan for any errors. Everyone is entitled to a free credit report, and you can get yours by going to www.annualcreditreport.com
Adjust contributions: If you’ve received a raise or bonus, consider increasing your 401(k) or HSA contributions.
Plan ahead: Factor in upcoming seasonal expenses like vacations, summer camps, or back-to-school costs.
Revisit your goals: Are your financial priorities still in line with where you started in January?
Organize your documents: Safely store what you need and shred anything outdated with personal information.
A little financial spring cleaning now can help you stay organized and on track for the rest of the year.
