One Year To An Organized Financial Life - January and March Week 4

So I am closing up January and March this week!  I can't believe that I kept up with both months.  There was a lot of information to take in reading it this way, but by the end of April, I'll be back on track.

January
This week is fun!  I love organizing my papers.  My only problem is I tend to keep too much of the wrong stuff.  I wish I had been able to get to the store to get file folders and other such supplies.  I was unable to work on my files, except to keep things organized and to think about what I would do as soon as I am able.  I love the way Regina lays out the files.  It works for me too, but there is room for individuality as well.


March
This week we are advised to double check a few things on our tax returns before we send it off in the mail.  Once it is sent, and we know we are getting money back, there are suggestions of ways to spend the money.  Regina and Russell are very conservative and very wise in their suggestions.  I am one to want to make a big purchase that we've been waiting on rather than do something "smart" with it like pay off debt or save "for a rainy day".


Habits and Tools
Water:  This one comes and goes for me.  Sometimes I'm really good and then I go through a spell where I only drink coffee or milk.  I'll get back to it again.

Filing:  I love my new filing system and am tweaking it a little more, as when I first made the system I didn't quite get it completed.  I have too many "dead" files in there.

Financial Notebook:  No new comments this week.

Music: I am discovering I don't like country music playing all the time anymore.  The songs are depressing.  Searching for better music for me.
