Do you sit at the table every week and wonder where all your money goes?
Wonder why you don't have any money left over for fun?
Let's take a few actions steps to calm the chaos and restore sanity in your financial life. The steps are simple, not necessarily easy. But if you put in the work, I am sure you will find some extra money.
From product subscriptions you no longer use... to streaming services you rarely watch... to payments on sports equipment or consumer goods you don't have time for anymore, some charges hang out on our monthly credit card statement until even our "minimum payment" is overwhelming.
Starting today, we choose to love differently. We no longer will entertain the chaos meant to disrupt us.
Grab the last 12 months of credit/debit card statements you own. Review your monthly, quarterly, and annual subscriptions.
• Cancel any services or subscriptions you're not using. Don't forget about all the apps on your phones or any food delivery services. Stitch Fix.
• Downgrade to a cheaper plan if you actually need less, including your phone service, your annual-fee credit card, even your parking pas. (be careful about changes to any healthcare accounts, there could be negative consequences.)
• Ask if there are newer payment plans that charge less, but deliver more.
• Return leased equipment. (any extra cable boxes laying around?) and other items you're not using, but are being charged for. I know this step sounds silly, you are thinking but it is only $5/month. But when you add up all those $5/month items, you have in turn could have money for a date night.
Declutter your credit card statement and lower your stress by taking control of your monthly expenses.
