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?

Shopping online

Do you shop online? What kind of things do you shop for? I’ve bought clothes, shoes, appliances, gifts, electronics and even shopped for auto insurance online.

Shopping online can be a safe experience if you only give your personal information on a site that is a secure site. Usually you can find that out by looking at the bottom of your screen. You should see a little lock. If it’s closed then it’s a secure site. If it’s open.. then it’s not secure. Also look for https in the URL of the website. The https means a secure website.

Shop safe and keep your personal information secure.
