One Year To An Organized Financial Life: May Week One

 

Another new month and I feel like I”m behind already!  Well, I am behind!  I can’t believe that I am sitting and writing this on the 15th of May!  Where did the first two weeks of this month go????

The month of May is titled “Borrow Smart”.  The habit is “save your pocket change”.  The tool is a “dream board”.  We already save a lot of the pocket change that we have around.  Sometimes it goes to the kids; often it gets used to buy eggs; we get farm fresh eggs once a week.  I try to put the change in a little piggy bank near the coffeepot.  I am not a dream board person so I doubt I will do any of this activity.  DH can see things (visualize them in his head) so he won’t need it either.

During this week the authors talk about lowering the cost of credit.  There is talk about FICO scores – how to check for errors, where to get the reports and how to boost your score.  Boosting your score (getting the right score is a fine balance) allows you to get the best interest rates (lowest) possible.

Week two coming soon.
