Ok maybe I misspoke when I said that cleaning was my least favorite thing to do. It’s definitely taxes. If you haven’t gotten all your paperwork together, now is the time! (Looking at you, self.)
But even if you have, there is nothing like an impending economic crisis to force us to take a look at our personal finances. A few years ago when we had a baby, uprooted our lives, and moved across the country we needed a whole new approach to get our financial health in order. We use a tool called YNAB and it was really a game changer. (This isn’t an affiliate link, I just think it’s a super useful tool that I wish I would have had years ago.)
The truth is that many of us are going to be facing some financial challenges as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, so if your proverbial check book is not in order, now is a good time to sort it out.
