What are you going to do before Saturday to improve your finances?

[daledale]

I find that I do much better if I have to accomplish something before a certain date, especially when it comes to money management. I have been procrastinating creating a will for about 6 months now. I know I need to do it, but I've been unsure if I should go the do it yourself route or talk to a lawyer.

I have vowed to eithr buy the do it yourself kit and begin to fill it in, or make an appointment with a lawyer to get it put together. I will do this before Saturday.

What one thing are you going to do to improve your finanaces before Saturday?

Nice Name Dale Dale.

Not sure if this applies to you but a hand written letter signed by yourself, works in Canada (otherwise known as a holographic will). Just keep it simple.

Other than that, unless you have a family of sharks or a complicated will with a lot of money, then lawyers really aren't necessary (imo).

For me - I'm going to make sure that my wife and I do our weekly check in. We sit down, look at how much we've spent and how much is left for this month based on our plan. Talking about money once a week makes it really easy to keep communication high and stay on the same page.

Other than that - we're not going to do anything. We're already saving over 40% of earnings so we're pretty stoked about that.

Well, Friday is payday, so before Saturday I am going to pay all of the bills due this week (for me, that includes scheduled payments for old outstanding debt). That will improve my finances!

Don't go shopping or buy anything we don't need. Find free activities. Look under the couch cushions. haha. My main thing is keeping to budget and reanalyzing where we can save.
