The beginning of a new year is a great time to review your finances as tax season approaches. Below are 6 steps to improve your finances in 2022.
- Review your spending from last year to establish a starting point on your budget.
- Write a list of all your subscriptions and automatic payments. Are there services you are paying for that you don’t use? Consider downsizing your streaming services or subscriptions to help save money during these uncertain times.
- Review your insurance policies to make sure you’re getting the best rates and not paying for unnecessary add-ons.
- If possible, switch to electronic statements and communications to remove paper clutter from your home. Having access to your documents online reduces the time you have to spend on filing and allows you to access them from anywhere. Some companies might also give discounts on products or services if you switch to e-statements.
- Ask companies about loyalty discounts or special promotions. There may be new offers from merchants or companies you use regularly. Now is the time to take advantage of those savings.
- Talk to a financial advisor. A professional can offer guidance on your budget and financial plan to help you meet your financial goals.
