Financial organization

When I move I need to do some financial organization. It’s not that I have a lot of money that I need to keep track but it’s all of the paperwork, etc that comes with bills, loans, household finances, etc. Right now I have things in a fire box and labeled shoe boxes.

I’m looking into getting some personal budget software to keep track of things then maybe I can shred a lot of the paper I have laying around.

That is one thing I never do. I never just throw out any paperwork with account numbers, social security numbers or any type of personal information on them. I always shred them. I do want to get a crosscut shredded which shreds the paper into small pieces like confetti instead of long strips which could possibly be pieced back together.

What kind of software do you use to keep track of your household budget?

Buried in paper

I was sort of buried in papers this weekend. I went through some boxes that I had papers stored in. I figured I should get them organized. I have old bills, old term life insurance quotes, old receipts, etc that needed to be shredded. I organized the medical receipts, prescription receipts and things that needed to be kept. I filed them into other boxes and put labels on them.

Then I arranged the boxes on my closet shelves so they were in date and content order. My closets shelves have never been so nice and organized before.

Now I just have to shred all of those sensitive papers and I’ll be done. It’s so nice to have a very organized closet.
